Next Tuesday is going to be very interesting.

I mailed my ballot in an and within 48 hours received an email telling me my ballot was received. A day later another email arrived telling me the signature match was OK. Not bad at all. No need to put it into a box.

I understand that those boxes are electronically monitored, so I am waiting to see the video of the perpetrator in action. A year in the Federal Pen for every ballot damaged sounds fair to me.

Disappointing, disgusting, and embarrassing. I hope they catch the culprits and anyone behind them.

I heard about the box in WA state. This could get ugly before it finishes. I am preparing.

 

[dilettante]

No worries. I read that the ballots will be counted anyway, even if just one pile of ash.

This election will be marred by chaos and violence due entirely to the actions of one individual.

Unconscionable! Latest news I saw is that it was a protest against what's happening in Palestine and Gaza. I don't see what our election process has to do with that. I also saw on the news that one of the ballot boxes has a fire retardant and only three ballots were damaged. Perhaps now officials will see that all ballot boxes have that capability.

Maybe she'll at least try to rein in her terrorist mobs this time. In 2020 they drove SUVs into groups of children and burned cities for months. Let's not have a repeat. We don't want to smell the burning tires.
