Forty-fifth President Donald Trump took to his booming social media platform, Truth Social, on Thursday and shared the “best idea” he’s “heard in a long time.”
Trump shared a post from Jack Posobiec, conservative figure and the host of “Human Events Daily,” who wrote, “I don’t know who needs to hear this but Republicans should put ballot drop boxes in the back of churches in every state where it’s legal.”
“BEST IDEA I’VE HEARD IN A LONG TIME…PUT THEM ALL OVER THE PLACE. RNC, EVERY REPUBLICAN, GET TO WORK ON THIS NOW!!!” Trump reacted.
Unlike the Democrats, Trump is advocating for LEGALLY using ballot drop boxes.
In October 2022, a Saratoga County Supreme Court Judge ruled that New York Democrats “exceeded” the state’s constitution by “violating the spirit of absentee voting.”
In her 28-page decision, she reacted to a signed law from former Governor Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) which allowed someone who is “concerned” about COVID-19 to vote by absentee ballot.
She says Cuomo’s 2020 legislation allows any voter to qualify for an absentee ballot, which violates the constitution.
In September 2022, America First Legal (AFL) filed their second lawsuit in Pennsylvania against the Chester County Board of Elections over alleged illegal drop box activity caught on surveillance videos, according to an article published by the AFL.
Pennsylvania election laws require mail-in and absentee ballots be returned by mail or the voter, not another individual. One person is only allowed to drop off one ballot, not multiple.
In the 2022 primary election, only 11 out of 13 drop boxes had voter services monitoring the boxes and making sure all election laws were being followed. The remaining two drop boxes, on the other hand, did not have physical voter services monitoring them and were available 24 hours a day.
However, those two drop boxes did have security cameras. The camera footage caught over 330 individuals depositing void, invalid, or multiple ballots at once – all violating Pennsylvania election laws.
