For your consideration: Much has been written recently about mail in voting. Due to my work constraints over the last two decades I have been an avid user of absentee balloting. Not mail in voting – That’s a different animal. But, more on that later. Having two addresses in two different states at numerous times throughout those two decades – Many times (If not most) I would receive REQUESTS (key word) for my ABSENTEE BALLOT and as a dutiful voter I would only submit the one for the state I was domiciled. However, it made it clear to me early on that this was a potential weakness in the security of the ABSENTEE BALLOT request and voting system. Later, it came to my attention, that there are basically three types of VOTE BY MAIL subsections. 1. Excuse required Absentee balloting2. Non excused Absentee balloting (more popular in later years)3. Permanent Absentee balloting 4. Mail in voting. Numbers four being if you are a registered voter-You get a ballot sent to you address. https://www.eac.gov/documents/2017/10/17/eavs-deep-dive-early-absentee-and-mail-voting-data-statutory-overview. https://www.ncsl.org/research/elections-and-campaigns/all-mail-elections635457869.aspx

I am a conservative. I believe in capitalism. I am also an environmentalist. I believe in social justice, equality and fairness for all. I believe deep down-We all feel the same at times but in different ways and at different levels of intensity.

I have become silent around my friends regarding my political views because most of them disagree with my political views and they have made it clear there is no room in their world for differing view points.
