The military does not postmark a ballot with a date. Federal Law does not require this. Individuals in the military can easily be contacted and their information verified. Other civilians who knows.

If you have any knowledge of how the Military works then applying technicalities used on civilians is wrong. A service man or woman is governed by military laws and vote fraud would result in extremely harsh punishment far worst than whatever a civilian would face. In the Military no lawyer will get you off and you don't get a jury.

A simple volunteered oath to validate the facts of compliance is all I would require of a soldier and then count the ballot.

I filled out this ballot and placed it in the Military mail system by ...... date. Signed and witnessed.

So I do not think the individuals in the Military would attempt to cheat. It's a hundred times more likely that someone in the military would announce publicly that they are gay. So if you want to treat those who put their lives with no extra ordinary care. On the line so you and I can
have this discussion, my only question is. Are you an American? Or are you a just don't get it American?
