<description>&lt;p&gt;H.R. 281 would amend the Help America Vote Act of 2002 to allow all eligible voters to vote by mail in Federal elections.&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;h2 id=&quot;toc0&quot;&gt; Detailed Summary &lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Universal Right to Vote by Mail Act of 2008 - Amends the Help America Vote Act of 2002 to prohibit a state from imposing additional conditions or requirements on the eligibility of an individual to cast a vote in federal elections by mail, except to the extent that it imposes a deadline for requesting the ballot and returning it to the appropriate state or local election official.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Prohibits a state from accepting and processing such an absentee ballot unless it verifies the identification of the individual's signature on the ballot by comparing it with the individual's signature on the official list of registered voters in the state.&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;!--Leave in the 'summary' tags if you want the latest summary from the Congressional Research Service automatically to replace the text between the tags once it becomes available. --&gt;

&lt;h2 id=&quot;toc1&quot;&gt; Status of the Legislation &lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Latest Major Action: 4/14/2008: Placed on the Union Calendar, Calendar No. 359.&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;!-- Leave in the 'status' tags if you want the latest reported status from THOMAS automatically to replace the text between the tags once it becomes available. --&gt;

&lt;h2 id=&quot;toc2&quot;&gt; Points in Favor &lt;/h2&gt;

<description>Why don't we just rename this bill  &quot;The Universal Right to Commit Voter Fraud Act&quot;?  The party rep (volunteer?!?) brings the ballot to your house then hovers over you while he watches you vote.  No problems there, right?  Good grief, Congress, we are not stupid.  No, No and H*ll NO!...</description>
