I think the onion is stealing my thoughts. I had this thought that this is how Republicans could trick people on not voting. Basically going to "those" areas and pretending to be election workers getting people to cast a "ballot” early. And then telling them that they don't need to show up on election day.
I legit thought that after dropping off my ballot yesterday. I checked online in the evening to see if they showed my ballot as received but it didn't show it yet. Thankfully I did get an update a few hours ago that they did receive it
Good to know that disenfranchising voters is only 7 months. That's like the length of a school year.
Somebody tried approximately this online already in 2016: https://apnews.com/article/right-wing-influencer-sentenced-voter-suppression-6bbf876ed7b81cb137669129350791b9
Like those honeypot trap "women's clinics" where women don't get access to birth control and abortions.
