A big part of why I use the ballot drop boxes is that WA has statewide standards for how the boxes get emptied & the ballots get transported. USPS doesn’t have the same requirements of care.

Washington state has a rich history of LGBTQ individuals fighting for equal rights and making extraordinary contributions to our state. However, LGBTQ rights are still under attack today. For example, there’s a court case seeking to overturn Colorado's ban on conversion therapy.
