Same sort of morons who tried to overthrow the US Government. More likely to shoot themselves in the foot than harm anyone else. But it is wrong to try and intimidate people who wish to vote. Pray god these people who would try to strike down our free system will meet a quick and untimely end.
I never understood, until recently, how such stupid and ludicrous historical legends are born, which are completely devoid of reality.

In you guys' minds, there really was an armed military force seeking to overthrow the US government on J6, wasn't there?

Next year, you'll fantasize that tanks and fighter jets were blasting the Capitol. The year after, your narrative will be that ICBMs were deployed on J6 and half the nation was incinerated. The nation was on the brink of total collapse. All perpetrated by an evil genius wearing a horned viking hat.

Your fantasies never end.

Tensions are running high. Somebody will freak out, and the worst will happen faster than anybody realizes.

the black panthers showing up at a random ballot box in arizona ? Lol no

their was no proof that anyone said that to the canvasser who is a known liar .

they don'thave to do anything physical taking photos of you, anyone in the car with you, the make and model of your car, your license plate and any other info on your car or what you are wearing. Do you have any stickers of your kids school on your car? All this can be used to identify you and your family do you think its ok?
I've seen countless still photos and even more video of people standing in line to vote at the voting places. This happens EVERY election on EVERY local and national TV news show and no one (to my knowledge) has ever complained at all about their photo being taken.

So why is this suddenly an issue if a couple of people do it at a drop box? I think it's because the Dems have staged the stunt to make it look like the R's are doing it.

Our drop off box has a camera. And how are people receiving multiple ballots to vote. Thousands would have to fill out multiple ballots to change an election. It's just not possible.

I think there is a difference between identifiable members of the media showing up at a polling place to interview voters and a group of random people photographing voters at a drop box.

Did you know that ballot harvesting is nothing more then someone chosen by the voter to take their ballot to a drop box. You could call a mailman a ballot harvester. The term is ridiculous and has no impact on how people vote. I bet you didn't know several red states allow "Ballot Harvesting" such as FL, LA, AK, SC, AR, SD. https://ballotpedia.org/Ballot_harve..._laws_by_state

Good question!

I requested and received my mail-in ballot a couple weeks ago. Each ballot is numbered and that number is recorded to the name of the voter. The envelope had my name embedded with the official return address on the envelope. I had my ballot notarized at my credit union after filling it out and signing, and mailed it back today. No one could possibly receive more than 1 ballot, you don't just get them, you have to request a ballot, and every mail-in ballot is tracked every step of the way, from post office to return to the county election board headquarters, and they even confirm when the ballot has been processed.

Exactly, it's just not possible to receive more than one mail in ballot. If there was somehow a glitch in the system and you received two, the second one wouldn't be counted. I doubt this ever happens anyway. Our elections are pretty safe and reliable.

Anyone can drop off a ballot in a drop box, ballot harvesting is legal in many states. Exactly what value is there in having people sitting around in chairs watching drop boxes.

I don't get it because most if not all of them are under surveillance by state cameras.

What could be the purpose other than to intimidate folks?
