Kline letter: Vote by mail

I got tired of standing in line to vote. This year I requested an absentee ballot online. Then voted from the comfort of my recliner.

Now if the Legislature would change the name of “absentee ballot” to “Vote by Mail,” it wouldn’t sound like I was away on Election Day. Maybe the voter turnout would increase. In addition, we would be joining several states, in the region, that now have “Vote my Mail.”
