Ballot boxes are illegal in most of the country.  I'm surprised you didn't hear
about them because they were a focus on the voter fraud that happened in 2020. 
See the movie "2000 Mules".

 AT> What is the point of the ballot box?

To facilitate voter fraud.

 AT> Why don't they just use the mail instead?

That costs money.  And the postal employees destroy ballots.  The mail is not
trustworthy.

 AT> What is the procedure for retrieval of the ballots from the box?

Supposedly like the Mail.  A certified person with a key unlocks the box and
takes them to be processed.

 AT> How will the votes be counted if the ballots are unreadable from the

They won't be.  People who used that ballot box should be contacting their
local gov't office to get a new ballot.  Or better yet, vote in person.


.... Excuse me, while I change into something more formidable.
