This is it.

“When ballots are submitted to USPS in large-volume batches, if any one ballot in the batch cannot be verified against the Portal, all ballots in that batch will be rejected. For example, if a state election official brings a batch of 10,000 ballots to USPS and USPS is unable to match just one of those ballots against the Portal—because, for example, someone has recently changed their name after marriage or they’ve moved—then USPS would refuse to mail the remaining 9,999 ballots as well.”

    Doesn’t stop them from setting ballot boxes on fire like last time. Go vote in person if you can.

        Pretty sure it did happen. Not on a large scale but I want to say Phoenix had some kind of wild shit going down around the election. A guy was shooting at dnc offices, ballot drop(s?) burned, same guy got caught with machine guns an rpg and like 100k rounds but kind of just … faded into obscurity.

            Not all in his truck lol. He had 100k rounds at home. He had a machine gun or ar in his truck loaded when he was stopped (I know big difference but I’m too lazy to look) and I think the same guy might have been sprinkling fake anthrax on some Kamala posters lol idk

          Early on Monday morning in Oregon, Portland police responded to a fire they say was started by “an incendiary device” inside a ballot drop box. Oregon’s Multnomah County Elections Division said in a statement that three ballots were damaged. “Fire suppressant inside the ballot box protected virtually all ballots,” the statement read.

          This is definitely some bullshit. But Oregon isn’t exactly a swing state.
