    SNIP
    Drop boxes that enable people to drop off ballots cast by themselves and others are illegal under Wisconsin law, the state’s Supreme Court ruled on July 8.
    SNIP

    The Wisconsin Elections Commission ruled that drop boxes can not only be used, but that they can be unstaffed (read unsecure) and permanent. Further, the agency said a family member or another person can drop off a ballot on behalf of a voter.

    Takes care of one small Zukerburg get out the vote plan, One shenanigan Democrat tactic in one state bites the dust. Only about three dozen or so more to go.

    This is the plan. Put illegals on the roles, vote for them, intent them into boxes no one monitors, and count the win.

    And when you challenge democrats about the above, they get all defensive, and whiny... like somehow, keeping the vote legal is 'voter suppression' or some such bs. Democrats don't want fair elections anymore. They want power. The shyte show of modern democrats these days...

    No one should be able collect ballots and “drop them off” unless the person doing it is a guardian/care taker. Although if you’re so physically unable to vote in person or mail the ballot in, I can’t imagine you have the mental faculties to be voting at all. Extreme RARE cases like paraplegics that still have their wits about them, have those who can get it done.

    But the ballot farming BS is so fishy.

    Socially distanced voting methods aren't as necessary in 2022 as they were in 2020 when COVID was raging through the country for the first time. I see nothing wrong with this decision.

    The court upheld and earlier ruling by another court. Seems like we’re all on the same page.

    Can you explain why the Democrats had a full court press on states to allow distanced voting (and other stuff) long before COVID showed up?

    To get more votes of course. Somebody that doesn't feel like going and waiting in line and wouldn't vote otherwise might vote if they can do it from home or just by dropping something in a box real quick. People may not like crowds, may have to work, may not have transportation, a whole host of things that may prevent or discourage them.

    Here's a good example of something similar. I don't really care to go shopping. That includes food shopping, so I would tend to pick up things at convenience stores, gas stations, etc. Now with the advent of the grocery delivery app services like Instacart, I can order from a grocery store right from my house with minimal effort and no travel. They bring the groceries to me. Likewise, drop boxes and mail-in vote systems make it easier to vote for a person who may not want to go their precinct on election day, for whatever reasons they may have for not wanting to. No need for conspiracy theories or the dead horse memes about Democrats doing the voter fraud when common sense gives you a much more reasonable much more likely reason.

    You’ll have to ask all those Utah dems why the state votes primarily by mail.

    That's not an accurate assessment of the Democrat's push, but at least it is plausible.

    Probably the same reason you can't drop off hers.

    Except I can. I live in a state that encourages voting, not one that seeks to make it harder.

    They aren't. They can't be, and any such votes would be illegal and invalid. But all the Republicans think that half the Dem votes are mailed in from Mexico and they say it constantly

    I think he meant illegals will vote, which is pretty silly. Mail in ballots have your name on them, they verify them before they’re counted.

    So are you a hermit and can’t leave the house? Oh it’s sooooooooooo haaaaaaaaard? Can you open up a bank account in your wife’s name without her there?

    I’d be ok with immediate family members of the same residence dropping off ballots to appease the lazy **** crowd. :)

    Why don't you just admit that the more people vote, the less likely it is that republicans will win?

    Nah but they have drop boxes next to her work. Just easier.
    I actually don’t need your permission, I can drop off ballots for everyone I know in my state. Even people I don’t know lol

    Of course that’s all it is. It’s the same reason they want to limit early voting.

    And you can change a whole bunch of votes or throw them out and no one would ever know.

    Well the envelope is sealed, but I guess I could throw them out and hope they don’t check online to see if their ballot was received and then hope they don’t fill out a provisional….

    Probably not too hard to open and reseal for an enterprising young activist. Toss out those Republican votes too. :)

    Yah don’t give your ballot to people who would do that. You realize you don’t have to have someone drop it off right?
