I think that absentee voting should be outlawed. No exceptions. If somebody doesn't consider voting to be important enough to be in town on that day and go to the polls, then the citizens of this state don't want their stinking vote anyways.

Actually, the complaints about the voting process by the EFF are actually GOOD. Read them. What they are proposing in the brief header posted would actually REDUCE voter fraud. Things like not forwarding ballots - since they get forwarded to union halls where they are filled out by some flunky/stooge - is an absolute must.

I have no idea why this group is actually protesting the way the votes in King County are going to be counted since it works so well for the criminals right now.

The people that you would hurt the most by banning absentee ballots would probably be military members. I know that I was often underwater (being a submariner) during an election. I also know that I have spent years away from my home state (initially Montana) due to military orders. Without absentee ballots my vote never would have counted. Of course it didn't count anyways, since elections departments routinely foul up absentee ballots and even if they get everything correct, they don't count them unless the race is close.
