No reason they can’t be at a voting site where they can be monitored. I also believe they should be time stamped when deposited. Hire someone...and stop this loosey goosey system.
If necessary, monitored and videoed 24/7.
If they weren’t manipulable the Democrats wouldn’t be pushing for this. They will never do anything that allows the people to decide against them and that puts their political ‘careers’ at the mercy of the voters.
The only way to fight stuff like this is to exploit it in such a way that invalidates the entire voting process (e.g. stuffing all those ballot boxes with numbers that double or triple the number of registered voters).
Not sure what rules are regarding ballot sites. I know that
in some states ballot sites are located in malls, parks, other
sites where there is public access.
