Berks' new ballot drop-box policies raise concerns

[DK23]

i get the idea that some people don't like the boxes being monitored because it effects them harvesting ballots. I like that they are going to be monitored but I'm also not really a fan of ballot drop boxes. voting has never taken me more then 30 mins ever.

It took me almost 3 hrs for the last presidential election. I probably should've waited until the afternoon though, may have been quicker.

Lucky for me it's right across the street. Next time I'll look before I head over.

Mail in voting was designed so they could vote illegally that's just plain and simple. Voting is no longer a way to change things because of mail in voting. All that needs to be done is employ the right vote counters and you win. What a sham voting has become.

Cops don't have any more business at drop boxes than they do at other voting places. Ideally there shouldn't even be drop boxes, there are polling places placed all over the state just for the purpose of making it easy for everyone. If there are going to be drop boxes they need to be monitored by election officials, not cops, just like any voting place is.

I think mail-in voting was originally for military and other personnel who are not in their state but still retain residency. I have no problem with mail-in voting but it needs to be monitored with checks and balances, like ballots need to be requested, then those requested ballots need to be tracked and verified when they are returned, to assure there are not more ballots returned than requested, and the people returning them are actual people who have residency in that jurisdiction.

You are right on the first sentence but add 'any other legitimate reason'. But on the rest of it, I disagree. If you're too lazy to vote, I don't want you to vote. There are a lot of countries in this world where the people wish they could vote and some wait for days to cast their votes and we're laden with pussies who can't leave their basements to cast their votes. They should be ashamed of themselves and so should those pushing for their 'right' to vote from their basements.
