"I am not for absentee voting to make it easier for people to vote. I think that it is not asking too much of a citizen to get off his/her butt once a year to exercise their Constitutional right to vote.

I absolutely agree with your position. However, your deployed military is an absentee voter and we need to ensure the system doesn't penalize or in any way hamper those Americans from having their say! The military and Postal Service have certain arcane restrictions, so we need to revise specific statues so as to ensure their rightful participation. I'm sure you agree that is only fair.

Agreed. I'm talking about Joe-Couch-Potato who can't be bothered to go to the polls. Why spend millions on modern voting technology at the polls, and then more millions to make it easier for voters to stay home?
