Why are they taking pictures of the ballots when they put a stack in? It's the same crap we saw in 2020, they're getting paid a certain amount per ballot dropped off.

Since it has an effect on national
Politics could a citizen from outside of the state of Arizona have standing in a lawsuit.

Need to get rid of mail-in voting and early voting beyond a minimal amount of time. It's hard for phantoms, dead people, prisoners, out of state residents and aliens to vote in person.

If you vote by mail, you drop it off yourself and in person.
So I shouldn't drop off my wife's 93 year old grandparents' ballots who vote R here in NC?

Yeah I watched the first couple minutes. I don't think someone dropping off a handful of ballots in the box means there is fraud

Nope. In Georgia you must apply to receive an absentee ballot and that application requires a DL# or some other acceptable ID. And drop boxes are only in government buildings and only accessible during hours of early voting.

“They need to check and audit every ballot!”
(after three weeks of 12-hour days doing that)
“Why is this taking so long?”

The length of time a supposedly automated process is taking suggests the automation isn’t working.

I'm fine with that. You should drop it off at the polls to a worker, produce ID and confirm that you're dropping them off for people you know (depending on NC laws) and the poll worker can confirm that they're registered voters and indicate that they've voted.

You cannot be this stupid, but you can be this dishonest. They're not taking selfies to post on Instagram saying "look, I voted". They're taking pictures of ballots being deposited. There's only one reason to do that.

It is an unavoidable bug in any system which allows voting other than “in person in the polling place.” The significance of the bug enlarges, as more and more people choose to vote by some alternate means.
You either accept the delays, or you remove the alternatives. Despite all the whining about delays from a few partisans, most Americans seem to prefer to have the alternatives. It is what it is

That's a pointless endeavor once the ballots have been separated from the envelopes. Do we know if they have?

I was just talking about the process of verifying and counting the ballots.
If there is a suspicion of shenanigans at a given drop box, you would obviously need to conduct your investigation before those ballots and security/privacy envelopes are separated (in the few states that still use them).
The problem is that I continue to assert that they people engaged in affirmative fraud are NOT stupid. They are NOT going to use the same people to drop ballots who are identified on those envelopes as the person designated to drop them. One person's name will appear on the envelope. A different person will ACTUALLY drop the ballot(s) at the box.
So, you see someone acting suspiciously (too many ballots, photo at box, etc.). You stop the count on that box on that day, so that you can identify that alleged "mule" (license plate, facial recognition, whatever). You find him, and you compare his name to all of the 200 ballots from that box for that day.
Surprise, surprise! Someone behaving nefariously does not put his name on even ONE of those ballots. You end up simply identifying all the relatives and nursing home workers who are actually complying with the law.
But set those Samaritans aside. Despite catching the occasional criminal worker bee, you are unable to invalidate even one of the 25 estimated ballots that he dropped without ALSO invalidating 175 ballots that were cast in a perfectly-legal manner. The American public is NOT going to approve disenfranchisement of 175 people who followed the law, just to catch one bad guy.
So, you send a worker-bee to jail (best case), but the ballot count remains unchanged. You PROBABLY don't even manage to send him to jail, because you have trouble convincing a jury "beyond reasonable doubt" that he violated the law, if you cannot directly tie him to specific ballots.
Like it or not, the American people WANT to provide a way to vote "offsite" for the homebound, nursing home residents, etc.
The ONLY reasonably-secure way to do that is to eliminate "drop boxes" and to require the "courier" (for lack of a better term) to walk the ballots to a clerk at a desk, to confirm his identity and to make a record of each ballot that he delivered.
Most states are simply NOT going to do that.

But you were talking about verifying signatures and addresses; ballots are anonymous. Once the ballot is separated from the envelope verifying a signature is pointless. The fraud, if there is any, is a done deal at that point.
So if the ballots have been separated then all we're waiting for is a machine count. I don't know why that would take this long. If they're still in the envelopes then your explanation for the delay isn't absurd, but other states appear to have figured it out.

Cool. You don’t know anything about Arizona’s process.

So, as the verification process slowly proceeds, you have thousands of uncounted ballots sitting in envelopes as each envelope works its way forward in the queue. A given envelope/ballot might be sitting in that queue for days (or weeks, worst case), depending upon how many ballots were cast in a manner subject to this sort of verification (mailed, drop box, etc).
This is the reason that the count seems to "trickle-in." It is mostly NOT due to late-received ballots (though slow USPS does produce a few of those), but rather because the ballots are sitting in the registrar office waiting to be verified, so that they CAN be counted.
If my understanding is incorrect, please tell me how. I would appreciate it.
