Action | 2014 Absentee Material Omissions |

We should be encouraging eligible voters to vote, not making it even more burdensome, or as these proposed changes do, entraping them into simple and non-material errors (despite the effort to call the changes material) which will invalidate their votes. Who votes absentee by mail? Mostly people who have physical difficulty actually getting to the polls, so these proposals target the elderly and infirm. Those who are merely going out of town tend to go to the absentee in person locations.
I strongly opppose these changes.
