CA couple find absentee ballots dumped near home twice

http://www.14news.com/story/19994058/ca-couple-find-absentee-ballots-dumped-near-home-more-than-once

It's a discovery that's got Bernice and Wardell Chavis outraged. For the second time this month the couple has found remnants of mail-in-ballots tossed in the gutter near their Vallejo, California home.

"Ballots in the street...we said 'No this should not be here,'" said Wardell Chavis.

Two weeks ago while out for a walk the couple found three soggy ballots in the gutter.

Then last week, in the very same spot, they discovered a voter's envelope with the ballot missing.

We should change voting to something that you do when you file your taxes or something... so everyone gets involved, and ballots can't just 'go missing'.
