Absentee ballots were supposed to be for people like soldiers who could not travel hundreds of miles of across continents to vote on election day. I remember driving people from nursing homes to the polls on election day. Those who couldn't ride, simply didn't vote. Now Ballot harvesting runs rampant and crooked people can request ballots for the lunatics and comatose and then vote for them. Many jurisdictions are now permitting non-citizens to vote for mayor, city council etc. One beach resort town I heard of, has permitted non-resident property owners to vote on issues related to taxes. Some urban centers are starting to do this and how do we keep the tally between citizens and noncitizens separate?
