They were told a ballot could not be sent and that a FedEx would be too expensive. He said there is two day mail at one quarter the cost through the Post Office and then to return the ballots the students could send it back with a postmark. He said we are denying them the right to vote. The argument is that there is not enough man power to deal with absentee votes. Paxton said there are forty students in Washington right now.
Voting is the most basic right of our history.
This is wrong to say they can not vote because they are too far away. He does not think it is democracy to deny them the right to vote. Bronson said he has been speaking with someone over in Washington as well. He said that our voter turnout is so low that to actually turn some people away who want to vote is hard. Bronson said that he agrees with Paxton on his theoretical points.
