While there are legitimate reasons to vote by way of absentee ballot, Fund argues that the process has become open-ended, loose and prone to fraud. “Absentee [...]
By Kevin Mooney — New Jersey Republican delegates to the National Convention in Tampa, Fla. credited Gov. Chris Christie for vetoing a bill to create a health care exchange system earlier this year that could prove costly over time. Under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), otherwise known as Obamacare, states are expected to have exchanges established come [...]
