We use these boxes, we have them scattered all over. They are great, and I always use the drop box instead of mailing back. Mostly because there's one outside the DMV that's on my way to work, lol.
Colorado, man, they just want you to vote. They make this **** so easy.
Interestingly, PA wanted to add more drop boxes and Trump Admin sued them.
I wonder why????
This is a good idea if they can place enough of them securely.
Ballot drop boxes seen as a way to bypass the post office
PHOENIX (AP) — With the Trump administration openly trying to undermine mail-in voting this fall, some election officials around the country are hoping to bypass the Postal Service by installing lots of ballot drop boxes in libraries, community centers and other public places.
Such boxes have been used with success for several years in states like Oregon, Washington and Colorado that rely largely or entirely on ballots that must be sent in. But their use is being expanded because of the coronavirus outbreak and, more recently, concerns about the post office’s ability to do its job.
Unfortunately in Ohio, LaRose ruled you cannot do this even though it is one of the most sensible things to do.

Trust me, Trumpets will vandalize them or stuff them with fake ballots.
That's what I'm afraid of. Even if the states could get the funding for building them like FedEx drop boxes, some idiots would find a way to destroy them, unless they're placed in secure, watched facilities.
Can’t state governors deploy national guard to help secure these drop boxes, or better yet help the delivery of ballots?

I don't believe they have the sheer numbers of Guardsmen to employ throughout a state's voting precincts.
Then what about temporarily borrowing the services of Ups or fedex?
That's brilliant. The boxes are fairly secure and already in place. All the state needs to do is provide the mail-in ballots.
The only problem is that the idea I suggested would be considered by fedex and ups as shudder unprofitable...
Trump and Congress could approve of some state funding in the legislature? That would take some of the burden off the USPS, but the GOP would never back it. Disappointing that the voters and media can't put enough pressure on Congress to do the right thing.
