Ellen, all you've done is prove that you are wrong. The statute makes it illegal for someone other than the voter or a family member to apply for an absentee ballot. It's not illegal to send someone else a request for absentee ballot for that person to fill in himself or herself. I recognize that you can't tell the difference between the two acts - 1. sending someone overseas a blank document for that person to fill out and mail in; 2.mailing in that filled-in document directly to the Voter Registration Office. I don't expect that a court will have the same difficulty.

the Republicans sent out tens of thousands of unsolicited absentee ballot applications. They also altered them without the knowledge of the voters. It's beyond me why that is so difficult for you to understand. What's beyond CB and me to understand is why you don't understand that sending somebody a form so THEY can request an absentee ballot is NOT the same thing as requesting an absentee ballot on their behalf. And modifying an APPLICATION for an absentee ballot which was signed by the voter is NOT the same thing as altering an actual absentee ballot or requesting the ballot. Your inability to understand what the law actually says and admit it is what's frustrating. As CB says, don't quit your day job. You have no future in the law.
