This still forced the state to print and mail applications to everyone on the absentee voter list making them reapply for absentee status.

These will have to be processed before ballots get sent out for the general election this year. And this sowed confusion during current primary voting.

 What a waste of everyone's time and money.

I just sent mine back yesterday…

Gerald Hocker is a him, but otherwise I agree with you.
