It sounds as if it will be exactly the same from your point of view, but all that would change.... His proposal was that the ballots come in and are set aside for verification purposes. We do the verification after the fact instead of requiring you to prove your identity in advance. That eliminates some of the problems that can arise that you describe where there's a slowness in getting responses back. That would be the only significant change, I think. You'd get your ballot perhaps earlier, but it might still not get counted until after the date of the election.
