Absentee voting ballot
 
Requirements for generational identifier and place name identifier on absentee ballots are unnecessary and just another needless requirement placed on absentee ballots. The name and address are on the return envelope.It appears the SBE is now seeking ways to exclude ballots rather than finding ways to include them, just like the most recent ruling on voter photo ID in which the Board caved in to Obenshain rather than doing what was right and sticking by it's original decision. I think it is time to ask yourself as a Board who you serve, the voters of Virginia or partisan politicians.
