      Not if they seize control of the state. Then they become freedom fighters, and new authors of history.

      You should probably vote about it…

          And when that isn’t enough, they’ll use the ballot box fires as justification to call the election invalid.

    idk if every state allows this, but where I live, I go directly inside the courthouse building and drop my absentee ballot off in their elections office, they do allow it. my ballot stays inside of a locked, secured building. there’s outdoor collections too, but they are a open target to vandals. I’d hate to hear about a fire at the collection box I used!

      Unfortunately, the most secure boxes are also closed and unavailable for those of us who work day shift.

    Good news from federal courts for once, after all the news from the Fifth Circuit casting aside any semblance of upholding justice.

    I’m looking at a picture of the suspect car in PNW, appears to be a gen 1 Volvo S60 (2000-2009), black or dark blue.
