--"Officer, I KNOW I should have the registration with me" (letter of the law)....."but I meant to take it with me today" (intent) That's a pretty lousy example. But you probably knew that. The purpose of the laws surrounding voter registration is to ensure that the votes are proper. But a judge [not an officer] can determine that sufficient actions were taken that the vote was proper. So, the judicial may rule, for example, that if all other requirements of the law were satisfied then the voter registration number was not necessary to ensure that the vote was proper. Alternatively, it there is other evidence that an absentee ballot was cast prior to the deadline, then a postmark [as indicated by law isn't necessary]. Regards, jttmab
