If mail takes that long, there's always the possibility that it won't be received within the 7 day window anyway.True, but far less of an issue. Removal of the 7-day window, combined with increasingly poor mail service, is going to make mail-in voting a pure gamble. One solution to this problem is to have ballot drop boxes in attended areas, and allow third parties to drop ballots there. It doesn't solve every problem, but even that has drawn the ire of the "voter fraud" cult. I tend to agree. The advantage to democracy provided by the mail-in grace period is outweighed by the bad vibes it gives out. What I do with my state taxes now is that I request an extension, pay the tax due as the estimated tax payment, then finalize the return reflecting this, so that it has a zero balance. The extension can be requested online and you can request the debit to go through on a future date. That's essentially what I had to do this year, on the morning of 4/15. I'll do it again next year, but in a better organized manner that doesn't leave me with a credit balance that I don't want. |
