State election officials were left unnerved after being summoned by the FBI to a mysterious conference to discuss “preparations” for this year’s midterm elections, which President Donald Trump has recently called for Republicans to “nationalize” in violation of the Constitution.
On Tuesday, election officials in all 50 states received an email from Kellie M. Hardiman, who identified herself as an “FBI Election Executive.”
Hardiman said the officials were invited to a call on February 25 with “your election partners” at the FBI, the Department of Justice (DOJ), the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the US Postal Inspection Service (USPIS), and the Election Assistance Commission (EAC).
The drop boxes are already curtailed in a lot of red controlled states, be they battleground or no, like GA, WI, and AZ. Some of them also have given the ability to hand electors for president to the loser of the popular vote as their state legislatures determine by the way, per 2021 voter laws that got almost zero coverage in the media.
Remember when the media told you they made it illegal to hand out water or food to voters waiting in line in GA? That same bill cancelled the supremacy of the popular vote, and media didn’t tell us, it would be hard even finding the information on the enshitified search engines now I’m sure, but it will come up again in 2028 if democrats get anywhere close to winning the popular votes in battleground states.
Anyway though, they are already reduced to like 1 per county in some places, the drop boxes. Plus they are susceptible to being like seized and not counted, as the republicans have made clear to their voters to vote in person. Plus they just don’t count as many as possible from blue districts, it’s a numbers game.
Drop boxes will not get us out of this mess, even if they were kept safe, and not guarded by dudes with guns hassling people dropping off ballots and filming them.
