Thoughts?

Its not right. It shouldn't be allowed. I think it defeats the purpose of what it stands for.

Criminalizing allowing someone to deliver a ballot to a polling place? That's ridiculous.

And so is this. Astounding. How can it not be illegal?

[Dante]

that is truly ridiculous!

Why though? Someone could interfer with it. Should be done by post.

I was actually trained as a pollworker. They're no less protected, at least in Washington state. Ballots delivered to the polling place have to be sealed just like they'd mail ballots. The tamper protection is the same. The voter has to sign the outer envelope to verify they placed it in. They're delivered to a sealed box at the polling place and delivered with the vote-in-person ballots at the end of the day.

They can both be intercepted, but with ballots delivered to the polling place, at least the deliverer is a person the voter trusts (instead of a mailman or three).

Ok thats good then. We only have postal and regular voting over here, so I was unaware of the same type of security around dellivering a ballot.
