Why wouldn't you do that rather than carry it to a temporary box on the side of the street several blocks away? Wouldn't this eliminate "Ballot Harvesting" and the potential fraud?
You actually trust the USPS here in The Village’s. Postal stations are not Postal Employees, the family that obtained a Postal contract had a daughter who was stealing mail.
