eliminating middle men.
4. Falsely swearing to any affidavit

VI. Prosecution.
l. STATE Board of Elections must
report any violation of the act COM
ing to it's attention to the Atorney
General and the Solicitor of the ap-
propriate district, who linus. prose-
cute the offender.
Even after throwing all these re-
strictions around the absentee ballot
law the State Board of Elections in
dictated a fear that there might not
be enough safeguards.
Its recommendations closed with
this significant statement:
IF these measures are not suffi-
Gent - to eliminate the prevalent
abuses of the absentee law, then the
State, Board of Elections would re-
commend not only the abolition of
the present law, but that no sub
stitute statute be enacted, even at the
risk of -depriving persons physically
unable to go to the polls, or tenn
porarily absent from the county, of
their right to vote"
AS addenda to it's recommendations,
the board filed a comprehensive tab
ulation of absentee voting in the
1926 and 1888 elections, a history of
the absentee ballot system and analy-
sis of the various types of statutes
governing absentees, and a draft of
the new bill propoed as substitute
for North Cardinals present absen-
tee law.
