Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Then, according to you, this order wouldn't affect anything?
No liar. Every person doesn't use them because they aren't literally by every house like the fucking mail many use them
I'm a liar how? I said that people should be using the ballot boxes anyway, and you said "watch them seize those too" even though it's much easier for them to seize the mail since it goes through a federal agency, thus why I said they should bypass the federal order by using systematic and efficient placement of dropboxes. Because guess what, the order only applies to the mail. It doesn't apply to the ballot boxes. I'm not sure what your real argument is at this point.
Well the availability suitability and usage of drop boxes varies by state but nowhere are they exclusively used and many voters don't have limited to no access to drop boxes nor will be certain to be able to change this in purple states which will be dispositive.
We can't route around this we have to fight it.
You are conveniently leaving out where I said that it can be fought or evaded with efficient and frequent placement of ballot boxes.
That is fighting it.
What is your suggestion, then?
We fight their ability to seize ballots they don't think should be counted in the courts before one ballot gets misdirected and get orders forcing them not to do this. If they do it we fight to get those ballots back in play before the election is considered closed. If they succeed in fixing the election by seizing ballots we refuse to accept the results.
You said
That was a lie
I said:
You said:
So I said:
Then you said
Many places use a combination of both drop boxes and the mail with the latter option being dominant outside cities where your mailbox is across the street and the drop box is much further.
Hurting people's ability to mail their ballot would undoubtedly disenfranchise some voters.
