    AT> What is the point of the ballot box?   
      
   To collect absentee ballots from people who won't be able to vote on   
   election day. Or choose not to vote in person.   
      
    AT> Why don't they just use the mail instead?   
      
   Because postal employees are not election workers tasked with   
   maintaining the viability of ballots.

    People are being asked to call the election office in their area if   
    they dropped off their ballot between certain windows of time when   
    ballots would have been in the box. They can either request another   
    ballot or appear at their voting location and request a provisional   
    ballot.
