Copeland: Ballot notary defeats purpose

Posted

The idea that a person who wants to mail-in their ballot has to have their signature notarized defeats the purpose of using mail-in ballots to simplify the process.

If they have to get out to get it notarized, they might as well go to the polls and vote. Since we all have to register to vote and we get a voter registration card, why not just have the voter put their voter registration number on their mail-in ballot? That should be an easy number to check.
