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.
Like those honeypot trap "women's clinics" where women don't get access to birth control and abortions.
Somebody tried approximately this online already in 2016: https://apnews.com/article/right-wing-influencer-sentenced-voter-suppression-6bbf876ed7b81cb137669129350791b9
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.
