Addresses?
We don' need no steenkin' addresses!

I mean if you take 3 minutes to look at the actual ruling, it doesn’t say addresses (stinking or not) aren’t needed on absentee ballots…
It basically says the WITNESS’ address doesn’t have to be perfect. For example if your wife witnesses, she can just write “same address” as yours. Or if you neighbor is the witness and they don’t include their zip code (but yes, still needs house number, street, etc….) then it’s ok.
Of note:
Under the new commission’s new guidance, clerks will be told that a witness address can be accepted if it includes the street number, street name and municipality, but neither a state name nor a ZIP code or with everything except a municipality and state name. It would also be acceptable if the witness includes the same street number and street name as the voter, but no other address information is provided.
And it would also be allowed if the witness indicates their address is the same as the voter’s by saying “same,” “same address,” “same as voter,” “same as above,” “see above,” “ditto,” or by using quotation marks or an arrow or line pointing to the other address.
The Legislative Audit Bureau in 2021 reviewed nearly 15,000 absentee ballot envelopes from the 2020 election across 29 municipalities and found that 1,022, or about 7%, were missing parts of witness addresses. Only 15 ballots, or 0.1%, had no witness address. Auditors found that clerks had corrected addresses on 66 envelopes, or 0.4% of the sample.

To be fair, I had to go to another website to find the details of the ruling. The link above didn’t have it, just had the sizzle, but no meat.

If you look at every post here, just look, no reading, it probably takes 20-30 minutes per day.
Once you start reading, your day is shot.
