Quit acting like any reason for Absentee voting is a big deal.
If you’re planning on being out of town.
A catch all for everyone. They aren’t going to check to see if you are actually in town, smh
The “big deal” is the state law that says the absentee ballot needs to be received by the county board of elections by noon on election day. Why noon? It seems rather odd given the polls don’t close at noon. Why not just say as long as it is postmarked by election day, it will be counted? What is so difficult about that?
Brent, it’s because if the ballot is postmarked ON Election Day, who knows when it will arrive at the County Board of Elections? It needs to be there ON election day so the votes cast thereon may be tabulated with the rest of the ballots. Election Day is supposed to be Election DAY, not Election Week, Election Month, or Election year, etc., etc..
I’ve worked on The Hendricks County Election Board at the polls for 30-odd continuous years. Between Absentee ballots, Early Voting, and Election Day, if voters cannot or will not make the effort to vote during those times, they should move to a country where they don’t have to trouble themselves with voting at all.
If our president had not complained often about the imagined “fraud” with mail in ballots and perverted the US Postal Service to his slow the mail ends, and if there was no health crisis facing our state (with worse results reported daily), adhering to our long standing state law rules would be reasonable, but these are not normal times. So an extension is reasonable and the 7th Circuit is being a political animal in its decision, to the detriment of our electoral process.
