The right to vote should not depend on nit-picking, typo, or other rules unrelated to the honest identification of the voter. Requirements for street identifiers, initials, generational markers, full legal names etc. should not be used to disenfranchise a citizen of this country. Several highly qualified, in-the-trenches commentators have mentioned that individuals request absentee ballots and military voters may have special circumstances. These questions are easily resolved by a registrar and agents who are committed to allowing all valid voters to vote. These questions are also easily left unresolved if the purpose is to streamline a process committed to disenfranchise voters, or values efficiency over effectiveness.

Voting is a basic right in our democracy. It should not be denied for other than substantive reasons.
