Preserve the vote by mail post mark requirement
 

Please preserve the integrity of voting in Virginia.  Any mail in ballot that has been postmarked later than the close of polls on the voting date should not be counted.  The US post office is quite capable of postmarking all mail submitted timely, and to do otherwise puts ballots AFTER AN ELECTION HAS BEEN DETERMINED at risk for fraud.  Common sense must rule our elections and our elected officials are responsible to maintain voter integrity.
