This is a very poorly written article. I’m really confused as to what happened here.
It says they took absentee ballots and put them in the drop boxes. Are absentee ballots not legitimate ballots? Is the drop box not where ballots go? Is the problem that the absentee votes were put in the drop box before being validated? This happened in 2019, but they weren’t charged until 2023 and the primary was said to be re-held. Was it re-held in 2023 or 2019?
Also, this is for a primary election for local office, not a general election for federal office. Prosecute them to the extant allowed, but let’s not give fuel to the fake election fire.
And the article didn’t go into any of that detail. What they talk about sounds perfectly normal and legal to me. Why couldn’t you take an absentee ballot and put it in the ballot box? It’s a vote, right?
I know it isn’t that simple, but since every single state has different voting rules then it’s a bad assumption that a typical reader will know why this was illegal.

There are often rules about who can return an absentee ballot. Only a few states allow people to collect ballots and return them
