Joyce Rothchild: Absentee maneuver

If Dallas Woodhouse feels that shutting down early voting places is making Sunday sacrosanct for poll workers, I would urge all church leaders and houses of worship to advise their congregants to use absentee ballots and vote by mail. The pastors and clergy can witness and vouch for voters signatures at their churches. This would also alleviate some of the problems concerning voter ID, should that ugly dragon raise its had again (and it will).
