- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.

spreading awareness here that Washington State allows both printing of ballots at home or other places like a public library, and ballots can be dropped off at dedicated ballot boxes typically located at libraries, city halls, etc.
no need to use the post office at all if necessary.
Doesn't stop them from setting ballot boxes on fire like last time. Go vote in person if you can.
I'm going to need a citation on that one
Pretty sure it did happen. Not on a large scale but I want to say Phoenix had some kind of wild shit going down around the election. A guy was shooting at dnc offices, ballot drop(s?) burned, same guy got caught with machine guns an rpg and like 100k rounds but kind of just … faded into obscurity.
100k rounds? Of what? If that was anything but 22lr that dude would be needing new suspension for his truck. I mean a 5.56x45 is 12.3g https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5.56%C3%9745mm_NATO meaning 100k is 1230kg.
Though it would be remarkable if it had been 100k RPGs
Not all in his truck lol. He had 100k rounds at home. He had a machine gun or ar in his truck loaded when he was stopped (I know big difference but I’m too lazy to look) and I think the same guy might have been sprinkling fake anthrax on some Kamala posters lol idk
Really simple Google search NPR source
This is definitely some bullshit. But Oregon isn't exactly a swing state.
You need organize people to pick up and deliver ballots for the indignants and such in every county. Washington is a well run state so I can't imagine they have bad faith laws restricting legitimate efforts to deliver ballots for people.
I'm in Oregon and telling everyone to deliver in person, no mail. I just don't know if we'll get our ballots at all now though :(
you still have to rely on the mail to get the ballot if your talking about dropping off a mail in ballot.
and theres plenty of shit they can do, like whats in the article, to make sure you never even see your ballot.
