I just realized I may have made an error when I wrote this bill months ago. The bill that is about to pass deletes
section 6 of the FEA, and unless there's another law on the books that pertains to absentee voting, this would take away that option entirely. There was likely a practical reason I had for doing this, but I honestly can't remember what it was.
I might ask the President to veto the current bill and send Congress a redraft that doesn't have subsection 2. And now clearly I have some egg to wipe off my face...
