    I’m a liar how? I said that people should be using the ballot boxes anyway, and you said “watch them seize those too” even though it’s much easier for them to seize the mail since it goes through a federal agency, thus why I said they should bypass the federal order by using systematic and efficient placement of dropboxes. Because guess what, the order only applies to the mail. It doesn’t apply to the ballot boxes. I’m not sure what your real argument is at this point.

        I said:

        People should have been using the ballot drop boxes all along anyway.

        You said:

        They do

        So I said:

        Then, according to you, this order wouldn’t affect anything?

        Then you said

        No liar

          Many places use a combination of both drop boxes and the mail with the latter option being dominant outside cities where your mailbox is across the street and the drop box is much further.

          Hurting people’s ability to mail their ballot would undoubtedly disenfranchise some voters.

      Well the availability suitability and usage of drop boxes varies by state but nowhere are they exclusively used and many voters don’t have limited to no access to drop boxes nor will be certain to be able to change this in purple states which will be dispositive.

      We can’t route around this we have to fight it.

        You are conveniently leaving out where I said that it can be fought or evaded with efficient and frequent placement of ballot boxes.

        That is fighting it.

        What is your suggestion, then?

          We fight their ability to seize ballots they don’t think should be counted in the courts before one ballot gets misdirected and get orders forcing them not to do this. If they do it we fight to get those ballots back in play before the election is considered closed. If they succeed in fixing the election by seizing ballots we refuse to accept the results.
