Key word: envelopes.
Not necessarily legitimate ballots.
So given that difference, I would like to think these good ole all Americans would say: gee there fell'r,/ lady,need a stamp for those ?
That's of course is my imagination.
Reality will be dead man can't testify.

They are not official poll watchers or challengers by any indication, so bringing it up is a red herring. No?

I'm not saying it's voter intimidation - I have no idea what the AZ laws are surrounding that, and I really don't care. I'm saying those guys have no legitimate purpose for doing what they're doing. Period.

I can't believe we are arguing the merits of bringing guns to a drop box location in 2022, we've truly lost our minds.

I'd imagine the perceived need would be for potential self defense against Antifa type activists who have demonstrated time and again that they're not above using violence to achieve their goals.


But again....it's irrelevant because it's completely legal.

They weren't brandishing or threatening anyone at all.

Exactly. For several years, one member of my family has dropped all four of our immediate family's ballots off at once because it's convenient and legal to do so. What exactly do these people think is wrong with that?

They think whatever certain people they see or hear on the news or in the media have told them to think. They've been weaponized to "do something."

It's simply amazing how many things are legal that common sense when common sense would dictate otherwise over the last several years. Now they need to include prohibitions not only for polling places but people camping out with guns near drop boxes, who knew.

No need. Apparently, folks in AZ have already contacted the govt.

The video clearly shows old farts under tents in lawn chairs at the edge of the parking lot.

Considering that the police are aware of that and they've not been arrested, just complained about, it's fairly reasonable to think they've broken no laws.

While I would agree with you that they are idiots, they do not require you to approve that you think they have a legitimate purpose.

Just because we don't like something or think it's dumb, doesn't make it illegal.
