    Texas is going to have them though, they just want fewer of them.

    the Gov has not authority to do that.

    when was that pic taken? kind of reminds of the kids in a cage photo. Obama and Biden removed 12k mailboxes between 2011 and 2016

    How is concentrating more ballots in fewer containers clearly marked "Ballot Drop Boxes" better?

    Its like an old fashioned fountain pen. You stick it through the hole next to what you are voting for and it makes a dot.

    I do 6x every 4 years, but that covers 3 elections. It has never been stressful, difficult or time consuming. It did rain once, that was rough, no umbrella, I had to cozy
    Up to an old lady, she smelled like cigarettes.

    It has nothing to do with being a "chore" and you know it.

    Sorry for your struggles. I am 75 and never missed an election. Every one of then involved going to the polling station and casting my ballot in person. Our kids are 50 and 48. They have done the same.
    If you are too busy, sucks to be you. Priorities count.

    Wait a minute..... are you saying we can just walk outside and put our absentee ballots in our mailboxes????? [/sarcasm]

    I drop mine in the mailbox at the post office. That's pretty easy too. And I heard a rumor there are post offices all over......

    And we'll just pretend that the Post Office under Trump's appointee hasn't been trying to screw things up

    Let's just pretend you'll have to dodge dinosaurs and nuclear unicorn turds on the way to your ballot drop off box too. If we're pretending, pretend big!

    Begs the question why are Dirty Donald and so many right wing governors and their states are so intent on trying to prevent people from voting. Shouldn't the objective of any country calling itself democratic try to get as much citizen participation in the right to vote as possible not restrict it ???.

    Pure bullshit. You're under 70 so survival rate is 99%.

    If you're 66 act like an adult.

    Get over yourself. Try putting honesty ahead of hatred.

    To paraphrase Thomas Paine all your rights are contingent on your right to vote. That’s the notion behind the hysterical Trump and Republican crusade to restrict the vote. They don’t believe some American citizens should have any rights.
