Two bills have been introduced to change absentee voting in Delaware. But Delaware Republicans will most likely stand in the way because the oligarchy hates it when people vote.
Representative Earl Jaques (D -Glasgow) wants to remove language in the state constitution that requires voters show a valid excuse for obtaining an absentee ballot.
And that’s going to be an uphill battle.
Since its a constitution change, he needs approval from three-fifths of the General Assembly in two consecutive two-year sessions, which means he needs Republican votes.
And that could be a tall order. Republicans blocked Jaques’ last attempt to do the same thing in 2015, saying it would increase voter fraud.

A separate bill in the legislature would remove the requirement that a vote-by-mail affidavit be notarized.
