Washington State hired a private security company to watch the ballot boxes. Make sure no one tries to break in or torch them. Make sure no one is causing trouble. And by watch, that means sit in the car and keep an eye on it.

Better to spend $20 on gasoline to drive to the county clerk's office to deliver the ballot in person.

Newport (Oregon) News TimesCounty clerk’s office receiving heavy returnsAccording to Jenkins, since ballots were mailed to county residents Oct. 14, the only major issue voters have faced while returning ballots was a briefly overstuffed intake slot in the drop box at Newport City Hall. Jenkins said Tuesday morning that reports that surfaced during the weekend on social media stating the box was overflowing because it was completely filled were false.“That box at Newport City Hall was not actually overfilled,” Jenkins said. “In fact, it was jammed up with ballots right there in the opening slot. Once we heard about the situation, the city manager went down there and opened it up and that freed things up.”

Yep, the Secret Service agents assigned to Bill Clinton just happened to disappear when an underaged girl showed up.

Of the only 2 great-uncles of mine who made it back, only one served in eastern Europe and had knowledge/experience of the liberation of the camps.

He drank himself to death within a couple of years of coming home.

Exactly. The Soviets were full on with mass-killing Jews/Poles/disabled/gays/Roma, etc., they were just pissed that the Nazis were doing it on their territory.

I'm surprised how he managed to evade those structured transaction surveillance laws to accumulate that amount of cash. That's going to be an interesting story.
