Several bills dealing with elections are on the calendar as we speak:
The General Assembly is toying with bills that fiddle with absentee ballot qualifications, extending elgibility to home-school or pre-school children caretakers (SB 838, 3rd reading uncontested), and seniors age 75 or over (SB 1104, 3rd reading uncontested). The age was 65, but the Privileges [...]

SB 807 was defeated by the Senate 20-17. The bill would have subjected buyers at gun shows to the same background checks that apply at gun stores, which I wrote about earlier.

HB 2921 was introduced by Del. Richard Black, attempting to ban adoption by homosexuals. The bill is now in the Health, Welfare and Institutions committee.
