Reasonable allowances for people who will legitimately miss election day is a lot different from saying “lets have an election fortnight.”
I agree there is less security with absentee ballots, which is why I oppose silliness like Oregon’s all mail ballots. And why I said any absentee system should be audited for abuse.
I realize you can’t file for an absentee ballot under Texas law as it is today. I am talking about the way a good system would be organized, not your reality.
What if they have 2 weeks of voting, but business takes you away for 15 days?
There have to be limits. A few good citizens losing out because of circumstances is better than a season of chaos and fraud.
I guess we disagree on this. Have a good weekend.
My vote is too important to take a chance of missing again, even when I expect no conflict. I stay in favor of early voting. I would rather not expand the mail ballots; I see more opportunity for fraud.
