Missing or illegible postmarks on absentee and mail in ballots
 

Virginians deserve a fair election. The postmark proposal is loaded with fraud potential.  Also, the board lacks the authority to adopt a regulation contrary to the statute.  I demand a hearing wherein the board may explain the rationale for circumventing the statute and how the board considers that it has that right.
