Yes, If my absentee ballot doesn't arrive in time for a National general election, even though I sent it on time, I just lose out. Cause that's the law. If my dog eats my ballot, or the mailman drops it behind the file cabinet, I lose my vote. Or if, somehow, the mail gets messed up and the wrong address is on my ballot, I lose out. it happens. So yes, I am willing to have my vote discarded rather than violate the bylaws (or the law) one more time. Hopefully, the BOD and the membership will work to right this in a lawful manner in the future.
