They can either request another        KW> ballot or appear at their voting location and request a provisional        KW> ballot.              It seems irresponsible to toss it in a ballot box. (That's how much they care       about their country.)              Now another question comes to mind: What does anyone have to gain by       burning the ballot boxes in such liberal states?              --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A49 2023/04/30 (Windows/64)        * Origin: JoesBBS.Com, Telnet:23 SSH:22 HTTP:80 (1:342/201)       SEEN-BY: 90/1 105/81 106/201 128/187 153/7715 218/700 226/30 227/114       SEEN-BY: 229/110 114 206 317 426 428 470 700 266/512 282/1038 291/111       SEEN-BY: 292/854 320/219 322/757 342/200 201 396/45 712/848 5075/35       PATH: 342/201 200 229/426           |
