Letter to the editor: We can do better with our election system
The election is over. I have been wondering how many individuals who submitted their ballot at the start of mail-in voting were deceased by Election Day? Are those ballots still viable? I think that mid-September is way too early to vote for an election on the first Tuesday of November....
