You should not need a reason to request an "Absentee" Ballot

or call it Mail In if you wish. After the first time voting in Florida and was greeted with "Lookie Here, We got ourselves a Democratic", I did not want to vote in person. Granted I liked going back up North in Fall. Sometimes I was back on Election Day, sometimes I wasn't.

Florida never asked why I wanted that Absentee Ballot. After a couple of years requesting, I was sent it automatically.

We now live in PA. I was stunned to hear that until very recently you needed a valid reason to request an Absentee Ballot. WRONG. No reason should be needed.

Florida never asked me to give a reason. I voted in the PA Primary by Mail In this year and they did not ask why either. Both States sent me a email stating my ballot had been received.
