I am alarmed at the proposed language that would require an absentee ballot to be rejected if it the voter has not included the street identifier or generational suffix on the inner envelope containing the ballot. A street identifier is not a sufficiently material omission to justify rejecting one’s ballot. I passed legislation (SB333) this year to eliminate the requirement that voters include a middle name or initial on the inner envelope when returning their absentee ballots, and am discouraged to see other similarly irrelevant criteria being proposed to reject citizens’ ballots when the rest of the information on the ballots and return envelopes are submitted correctly. The street and street number are sufficient to match the voter with his/her address. What is the goal of disenfranchising voters in this way?
