Nebraska Drop Boxes

Election Officials Don't Bolster Confidence

Very difficult to know one election official who sees nothing wrong with Nebraska elections, states reform is a “solution seeking a problem” and in general, thinks “if it ain’t broken, don’t fix it” while another election official does see a need for reform. I suppose the difference is one is elected and the other is appointed but perhaps not.

Several election officials have said they need proof of fraud, but they miss the point totally. The whole issue is about trust and verifiability. Fraud can be sporadic and since few candidates do not want to be accused of being a sore loser, little effort is done to detect it outright. Only the law requires proof, but suspicion can quickly spin out of control if election procedures and processes are not blatantly obvious, overt, and expediently explained. Suspicion does not need proof. It only needs doubt.

The ballot drop boxes are a problem. Here is one just south of 76th and Cass Streets. Notice the yellow arrows. There really appears to be no rhyme or reason for this dropbox being located where it is. Let me help you. The up-arrow on the left is pointing out a section of the building.

This is not just any ordinary building. This is the location where many Democrat politicians have had a campaign office, such as Democrat and now County treasurer John Ewing as shown below.

So, this drop box appears to be very convenient for experienced Democrat operatives and their progressive friends.

At about 84th and Cass streets, there is a county office. Why not put the dropbox at this county office? We do it for property and vehicle payments. Also, this county building has a security camera.
