Two years?

Five years?

So no and no again.
Then we should stop having early voting and people should only be allowed to mail their absentee ballots on Election day. Any ballots that are post marked before that date shouldn't count.

Right?

Like I said, our election system is very, very flawed. There will always be problems.
