Street identifiers and generational identifiers do not need to be material.Voters have already given all the detailed information on their address and name identifiers when they qualified to receive the ballot. This is then printed on a return label which the majority uses to return the ballot. So why nit-pick the information when we receive the returned ballot. The Federal Statement of Affirmation for military/overseas voters only requires the voter signature, witness and date. In my personal opinion, the information has already been given to qualify for the ballot, so to return it, this (signature, witness and date) should be sufficient. Street identifiers and generational identifiers should not be material.
