A nice chunk of that "rare" voting fraud.

However, with the latest ruling from the Court of Appeal, the state can now continue limiting the number of drop-off points.

Texas has a limit on who can request absentee ballots. Only voters who are over 65, have a disability, are in jail or who will be out of town on election day are allowed to vote by post.

Governor Abbott's ruling means that some people in Harris County, home to more than four million, will only have one point in the entire county to hand in their ballot paper.


why would they want to restrict these people more ? their the only ones by law who can vote by absentee ballot anyway .

Makes no sense

There the same they only differ by name .. how is a drop box different from a mail box?

Do you understand why places have drop boxes?

BLAME Trumps rhetoric on mail in ballots people want to insure their vote gets counted because he's messing with the post office and fostering doubts


But this is the real reason why Trump and his campaign are against mail in ballots and drop boxes.

nineteen per cent of Trump supporters said that they planned to vote by mail, compared with sixty-nine per cent of Biden supporters

But please keep trying to suggest its something else. When it's clearly voter suppression

California Republicans are allegedly setting up fake 'official' drop-off boxes to harvest ballots

The church posted on social media that the box was “approved and brought by the GOP.” The post said church officials don’t have a key to the box and that GOP officials picks up the ballots. A pastor for the church didn’t respond to a request for comment.

On its website, the Fresno County Republican Party also shared a list of “secure” ballot collection locations. None are official county drop box sites, with the local GOP instead listing its own headquarters, multiple gun shops and other local businesses.

absentee ballots are "requested"..you have to fill out a request for one, there is a process

in most cases you used to have to provide a reason why you needed an absentee ballot

some states have eliminated the requirement for a reason to get an absentee ballot

some states are mailing out absentee ballot applications regardless of whether they are requested or not

some states are mailing out ballots whether they are requested or not

not everyone wants to vote, if they do there are easy ways to accomplish that...voting is a personal thing...democrats seem determined to badger the population, particularly their presumed voters who are apparently incompetent without the assistance of democrats to vote whether they want to or not(they refer to this as making it easier)


so the difference between the two is the absentee ballot is requested by the voter and the voter goes through the process of applying for and then receiving and then submitting his/her ballot

what democrats seem anxious to have happen is for ballots to be mass mailed to everyone and then collect and count what comes back in the mail or drop box which is very different than requesting an absentee ballot
