   You have explained all this very well, but I don't get why someone would trust   
   an election worker better than they trust their postal workers.

   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?
