    I can see you never designed an assembly line.
    Back of the napkin 4 million more poll workers.

    Not sure what napkins have to do with this.

    At my polling place, and I typically go first thing in the morning....right when they open, there are always too many poll workers...a number of them outside already directing people were to go.

    If you think it's an issue volunteer....if you don't, don't....I don't know what to tell you

    my state already has a system set up for drive thru voting: https://www.elections.virginia.gov/casting-a-ballot/accessible-voting/

    Another misleading image combined with a question that calls for a false conclusion. What I want is an honest discussion about achieving a fair election.

    Then make it easy for people to vote.
    Not that any of your crying is going to change mail in voting.

    When was this photo taken? It screams out like the kid in a cage photo that turned out to be from the Obama Admin

    https://misbar.com/en/factcheck/2020/08/21/the-obama-administration-removed-12-14-thousand-mailboxes

    "Misbar’s investigation into this claim reveals it to be true. President Obama's administration did in fact remove 12-14 thousand mailbox drop-off stations across the country during his second term in office alone,"

    I have no idea....all I know is Texas is getting it done. The GOP that runs the state wants to make the election fair, trustworthy and safe for everyone.

    Sure they sign up for 5 years.
    Doesn't mean Trump didn't direct her to remove them just like he pushed to raise rates on Amazon.

    I love how the lefties here are all about excuses while the rest of us are all about solutions.

    Maybe "excuse making" is an ingrained part of the "victim mentality"?

    Funny how the moderates and conservatives here don't seem to have any problems figuring out when/ where/ how to vote....

    Seriously, if anyone is too stupid, lazy, or scared to figure out how to vote, you probably shouldn't be voting anyhow.

    Yep. I can see 88 million of those.
    I'm tired of this nonsense. If you want to play some more play with yourself.

    We don't need a solution if the right doesn't make it a problem.

    I can't....most people will likely vote absentee, or in person, but some will or could do drive thru voting.

    Sorry you were unaware the process actually already exist.....

    Meanwhile, let's get back to this thread topic...where the Huffington Post was spreading some fearmongering propaganda.....

    Pretty soon the left is going to claim that ballot officials need to go door to door to obtain votes in order to not inconvenience them. Better bring a pen too, can't be certain they have a utensil to mark the ballot.

    No reasonable person could extract "crying" or any other emotion from my posts. Your claim that a mailboxes were being removed by the gross was false and the image you linked is from an article about 4 being removed due to low volume where there were multiple mailboxes. Heres a snip from the article:

    "Swanson claims the USPS is only removing mailboxes where there were already multiple boxes stationed next to each other. USPS has not removed any mailboxes in locations where there was only one, Swanson said."

    If you catch the flu, you might die too. That didn't stop people in the past.

    Plus, you can still drop the ballot in the mail.

    Sure, why won't he direct her to do what Obama already had her doing?

    We should raise the rates on Amazon....they take massive advantage of the USPS

    It would really save everybody a lot of time and effort if Texas would just go ahead and start arresting all voters... I'm sure they've been trying to figure out if they could get away with it and where they would store them until after the election.

    I'm historically against what is known as Ballot Harvesting, but if you are going to break the USPS and remove absentee ballot boxes, I'm suddenly all for it...

    Such Un-Americanism... Beginning in 2024 (and very close this year), Texas will be blue for the remainder of my lifetime...

    Now that the president is on his way to Walter Reed and is being given experimental medication, stating with authority that he will be fine, is perhaps premature.
