We have them installed out in the open outside public libraries and City Hall. You skip having to add a USPS delay, coupled with text messages from the election office verifying they got it. They’re great if you don’t feel like standing in line on election day. Never had problems.
Nobody thought there would be dipshits out there who thought setting them on fire was a sane idea.
Next idiot will pour something caustic or maple syrup into it.
The problem is someone thinking this is OK or provides any sort of advantage to their cause.
