Right now you must request an absentee ballot. It is checked and confirmed that you are a registered voter and mailed to you where you requested. Then you must return the ballot within a certain time limit or your vote is not counted.
That's fine! But, having the post office mail by reduced price mass mailing to everyone is ridiculous! If you cannot take the time to register to vote by mail, car registration at any county office then you don't deserve to vote. Voting is an obligation of every citizen but not every one in the county is a citizen and they certainly do not have the right to vote.

Well, that may be your local area (FL). In many states including MD where I am at the moment, UNSOLICITED mail in ballots are being mailed to EVERY registered voter whether requested or not. So, ballots are definitely going out to dead people as these rolls are not cleaned up regularly. Furthermore, people who move are not removed from the rolls. I have five(5) ballots here. Me, my wife and three adult children. All three children have moved out of state. It would be beyond easy for me to mail those ballots in with my choices. See the problem. This problem is just about everywhere. And, it is significant.
And, it's not a "timing" issue as you suggested.
