Why do these ballots, that are clearly marked need to go to the local post office to be sorted. Establish a temporary post office at the Election absentee ballot office and have carriers take these ballots directly there at the end of every shift. Should be less than 5 miles on average from the end of a postal delivery route. What am I missing here?

They can not safely sort it on the side of the road. The auto sorters were put in for speed and accuracy.

But red states might not allow it. Great thought, though!
