Congressional Bill to Require All States to Permit No-Excuse Absentee Voting

Congresswoman Susan Davis, a Democrat from San Diego, California, has introduced HR 376. All states already permit absentee voting, but 21 states limit absentee voting to voters who can demonstrate, or at least allege, that it is impossible for them to vote at the polls on election day. The bill would require that these absentee vote-by-mail procedures by available to any eligible voter, not just voters that claim they can’t vote at the polls on election day. The bill has 16 co-sponsors, and would only affect federal elections.

  1. “…and would only affect federal elections” – technically only. In practice, it would effect elections for state and local offices as well as it would be extremely difficult if not impossible for state and/or local officials to maintain 2 voter registration lists – one for federal and the other for statle/local.

  2. Oregon survives with ALL snail mail ballots.

    Is Oregon any more or less corrupt than other States ???
