We would no longer <br /> have to transport those absentee ballots back to them several times during the absentee voting period which <br /> would save mileage,staff time and inconvenience. I do not believe that we will need additional equipment or <br /> storage space to allow this process. <br /> At this point I support this as this would assist the voter in several ways—they would have confidence that they <br /> placed their ballot in the machine;they would have confidence that their vote counted (rather than an <br /> overvote/undervote or crossover party lines) and they did not realize that they made a mistake and their vote did <br /> not count in a particular race due to the necessity of overriding; and voter convenience (rather than 200 people at <br /> poll opening standing in line). <br /> Again,thank you for asking. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Pr�Xi �/tllFr <br /> 2 <br /> 49 <br />
