2014 Absentee Material Omissions
 

Voting is a constitutional right that should be safeguarded and promoted to the fullest extent possible, not restricted by nonsubstantive regulations that invalidate ballots.  The requirements under consideration -- street designation and name suffix -- are unnecessary and would serve to silence the public's voice expressed at the ballot box.
