[Terry L Smith]

Two things: in case you missed that page in the dictionary, yes, I said page, that defines ‘infirmed’, or, ‘housebound’, these are terms the average yokel, like you or me, would not hear unless coming from your doctor, or the guy your doctor sends you to

Here are my infirmities: lower leg edema brought on by congestive heart failure. This means i have to keep my feet elevated and wrappings applied by a visiting nurse a couple times a week. I have stage 4 kidney disease brought on by diabetes, which means for 31/2 hours 3 times a week, I have to sit connected to a dialysis machine. I cannot walk the aisles of a big walmart without near exhaustion.

I vote by absentee ballot, just like my military brothers and sisters do, and as I did, when they are overseas!

See post 76. This might answer your concerns. What I want to get rid of is the widespread potential for fraud introduced by mail in voting. Again, one-offs and exceptions would exist, but they would be exceptions.
