They have Christmas trees so all must be good . Really don't understand how it is still 'open'

Yeah, kmart is a pathetic shadow of what it used to be. Bare shelves, last year's stuff, cant reccomend it to anybody for anything anymore.

I saw in the Wall Street Journal this morning that Alabama Courts have ruled no more curbside service, which means that no longer will an election worker will carry the sign-in sheet, and blank ballot, and perhaps a ballot marking "machine" etc., out to a car for use by a disabled person. This "service" has always (at least the last 20+ years) been a feature of California election polling places. It could be a pain in the A... for us election workers (I did that for 15+ years in LA County) and always made me wonder why somebody who had mobility problems would not simply ask for a mail-in ballot. I don't have mobility problems but I've been using a mail-in ballot for over 20 years and never worried about misdirected or lost ballots. Mail-in ballots, IMHO, are safer than ballots cast at polling places.

Spiceguy, What happened?

In other news. My wife and I went to Kmart the other day for the first time in years. I'm happy to announce that it will be the last time. That is all.

When I worked as an Elections Clerk for Inyo County many years ago, ballots were handled only by Elections Clerks, and Deputy Sheriff's. (The deputies picked up and transported ballot boxes from the outlying polling places that were 60-180 miles from the courthouse where the counting was done.)

I suspect the SBCO Elections Office has made similar arrangements for collection of ballots from official collection boxes.

@Sportyj, you're correct, they are sanctioned and approved, but you still have a "third" party handling it, so that's why I'm just a bit untrusting. Straight to the post office.

I was a letter-carrier for over 27 years. We gave special attention to mail-in ballots, making sure they were processed faster. It is safe to send your ballots through the mail, I would not drop them off at any place other than the Post Office. Back then, we even took them without stamps when postage WAS required. If you are worried about dropping them in the out going mail, hand deliver it to a window clerk. I would not place anything with a check or very important mail in a outside box, always take it inside. If you have a mail box at home, do not put important outgoing mail in it to be picked up.📪

Me too, Sportj. I just received this text. "Your ballot for the 2020 General Election was received and will be counted. Thank you for voting!".

I got a text that my ballot was counted! Wahoo! So anyone else who is waiting (after using the drop boxes) it took exactly one week.

MtnTeach - the ballot boxes aren’t third party. They are official county elections office drop boxes.
