The simple fix is to just follow the rules. Absentee ballot rules are easy to follow and the forms make it very clear what you're supposed to do. Could it be easier? Maybe. Have absentee ballots been used for fraud in numerous previous elections? Absolutely. The easiest way to protect your vote is to follow the process.

While I agree that this should be an easy requirement to follow, the fraud argument is just bullshit. Only the world's dumbest voter fraudster would forget to fill in the date field. There's way more dumb voters than dumb people trying to commit voter fraud - if the election security measures block more legitimate votes than fraudulent votes, then it's a pretty poor security measure.

Really? Name 3 that have occurred in the past 10 years.

There's no evidence of widespread fraud, certainly none occurring on the scale that would change the results of an election.
