Putting the national gaurd at every polling station is a good idea, but please someone come up with a decent idea about how to stop all the phoney absentee ballots from being sent in! How do you trace it? Phoney names, phoney addresses?No return address?How do you catch these cheaters? The only thing I can predict of these hundreds of thousands of made up absentee ballots they will all be for LURCH!

I don't know how it works in other states, but in Calif-
you have to have a valid address to receive a vote pkg &/or absentee ballot request.
Absentee ballots are only counted if the race(s)are close
The back of the absentee ballot must be signed & the Registrar compares it to the sig. on file.
Kinda hard to flip the election w/ just absentees.
