A Buckeye here. I am arguing with friends and family that all votes should be made in person and on election day and with ID. Overseas votes can be cast at an embassy or other sovereign US territory (such as an aircraft carrier or military base).

If you are physically unable to travel to a ballot box then the ballot box must be brought to you with all its legal trappings and people.

That is it. It may disenfranchise a few people including a soldier who just cannot make it to the booth. But it would be worth it to reduce the incidence of fraud.

I also believe that anyone who feeds at a taxpayer trough should not be allowed to vote at whatever level they draw their check. Flame away about soldiers if you wish but in another decade or two our military will be remade into reliable government party votes.

Your proposal might well cut down on the number of dead voters.

So the military folks 'feed at the taxpayer trough'? You re as dumb as dickhead Smith.

So because something 'might' happen in 10 years, current servers and retirees should lose their right to vote. Douchebag zot.
