No. it is going on including removal all over the country. Are you intentionally trying to diminish hlthe2b Aug 2020 #18

No. First, I'm tired of people diminishing confidence in the voting system, which causes Hoyt Aug 2020 #25

What should we do Randy? linda52 Aug 2020 #11

Why do people use these things, anyway? Doesn't every home/apartment have a dedicated mailbox? Flaleftist Aug 2020 #19

It is not limited to the ballot issue. These boxes provide a means for elderly, disabled, office hlthe2b Aug 2020 #23
