I’m in Cali, so I don’t know with other states.

My local registrar just has a box out front and I’ve dropped off ballots there at 3am before. It’s locked, but it looks like a USPS envelope drop off box, but it’s the registrar’s. So just shove them in the slot. And then I get a text the following day or two saying it’s been collected and counted.

No one checks anything. I’ve even gone one time where it was drive-through style and I just rolled my window down and gave them to one of the dozen or so poll workers.

As long as the envelope is sealed and signed properly by the voter, I don’t see a reason it’d be contested. And when it all gets counted if there’s a discrepancy then it’ll get flagged and that individual who signed it will be contacted.

Been doing the drop offs for years now, for all elections. Never had a problem.

That’s cool, I’ll just bring all dozen ballots from my family to the local registrar office drop off. No USPS involved.

Thanks for the warning Trump!

Honestly if you worked with any government entity at any level you’d see how flawed, inefficient, and broken the system is.

Government contracts out everything to the lowest builder. Yeah we get “more” for our money, which in turns fucks us in the long term as our infrastructure is compromised in different ways, and once it’s truly tested you’ll see the cracks form and the eventual collapse.

What does this mean for the US military going forward? Idk, but it gives me the same vibes we were seeing with Russia back in 2022, all of us expecting a steam roll and huge military force and it turned out to be a gigantic flop.
