Democrats need votes. What better way to increase the voting among those that are too lazy to get to the polls and wait in line to vote. A person should not get the opportunity to vote by absentee ballot IF they don't have a valid reason. If they aren't physically prohibited from getting to the polls or if they aren't out of town, then they should vote at the polls like most everyone else. Just because you don't feel like standing in lines shouldn't get you an absentee ballot.

This is just another way to legitimize fraudulent voting.
