At least in my state. I have the right to get a mail in ballot. For good cause, for bad cause , or for no cause at all. In my case, I am crippled and there is no way I can stand up for more than 2-3 minutes at a time.
If you're not a lazy SOB then there's no need to be offended, is there?
My state is the same with absentee ballots. I think most states are the same now. But it wasn't always that way. You used to have to sign that an affidavit that said it would be impossible for you go to your polling place to get an absentee ballot. Now it's just for convenience. I have no problem with a legitimate medical condition being a reason you can't get to the polls.
For 24 years while I was active duty I voted absentee because I had to. Now I don't have to. Going to my local precinct is something I really enjoy and I think it adds an element to voting that mailing in a ballot just doesn't have.

Your post implies that everyone using an absentee ballot is a lazy SOB.
