I'm no computer guy but the IT issues can be solved with one simple word...lottery. I wouldn't even mind the checks, and the stamps, and the silly forms if they would take the USPS games out of it. "I send mine to Dauphin County because all mail goes to Harrisburg and I make sure it's in the box at 1:37 PM on Friday afternoon." I just made all that up...
don't try it but everybody has their little scheme. I guess if we can trust them with a presidential election, we can trust them with a doe license.
