You clearly have no idea which state legislatures did what. You mentioned Arizona as being on your list even though they have allowed dropboxes and for decades. Seek help.
I'm sorry, but it is you who has no idea what state legislatures allowed.......I have offered you four chances to link to an Arizona law which supports you and since you know there is no such law all you do is run........you're talking about absentee ballots which are NOT unsupervised drop boxes.......

Judge tosses legal challenge to ballot 'drop-boxes' in Arizona

PHOENIX — A judge has rebuffed a bid by a group that backs additional restrictions on voting that sought to outlaw the use of “drop boxes” that can make it easier for some people to return their early ballots.

Yavapai County Superior Court Judge John Napper acknowledged Thursday that state law makes mention of boxes that are “staffed by certain election officials.”

That term, he said, is not defined in the Elections Procedures Manual, essentially guidance issued by the Secretary of State’s Office to election officials.

But the manual allows counties to set up unmonitored drop boxes wherever they want and then permit “retrievers” to collect them to have them tallied. And some counties are following suit.

Tim La Sota, representing the Arizona Free Enterprise Club, argued that the manual cannot allow things that are not specifically authorized by the Legislature. And that, said La Sota, includes drop boxes.

................

But Napper, in Thursday’s seven-page opinion, said that lawmakers clearly are aware that they have effectively authorized unmonitored drop boxes.

He pointed out, for example, that the latest manual requires that a fire suppression device be placed inside all drop boxes “that are placed outdoors or not within the sight of election officials.”

“Therefore, the definition of ‘staffed’ in the EPM clearly does not require a drop box to be indoors or be monitored at all times,” the judge wrote.

excellent.....so the courts in AZ agree that the state legislature did NOT approve unsupervised drop boxes.......the manual did in fact permit an unconstitutional election......
 
He pointed out, for example, that the latest manual requires that a fire suppression device be placed inside all drop boxes “that are placed outdoors or not within the sight of election officials.”
sorry.....judges also don't get to make rules for elections.....and manual writers certainly can't.....only the state legislature........
 
I quoted it.......read it......the law passed by the state and the manual contradict each other......the manual loses as it is not state law......
When there is a question about state law interpretation, it goes to the courts, which is what happened in this case. The courts determined that the current use of drop boxes didn't violate state law.

State law doesn’t say much about drop boxes. It says that all ballots must be delivered to the county recorder but doesn’t specify how. Another section makes it illegal to create a ballot drop-off site other than those “established and staffed by election officials.”

Some, such as the Arizona Free Enterprise Club, read that language as mandating that drop boxes be continuously monitored.

But the governor’s office has a different opinion. Unstaffed drop boxes have been in use since at least 2008. Neither election officials nor any court have ever interpreted that language to mean that continuous monitoring is required, said Bo Dul, the governor’s general counsel.


The word “staffed,” in that line, Dul said, does not mean continuously monitored. Instead, she said, it means that the drop box is operated by election officials under all of the protocols required by state law, such as security measures.

yes. in use since 2008, with no law change.

unconstitutional.
 
totally irrelevant......it violates the US constitution because it wasn't authorized by state law.....
According to the courts, the state law did authorize the use of drop boxes. It didn't specifically say "drop boxes". All that it says ballots have to be dropped off at a site “established and staffed by election officials.”

The courts already ruled that a Dropbox is a site established and staffed by election officials.
 
According to the courts, the state law did authorize the use of drop boxes.
no the state courts decided that unsupervised drop boxes fell within the definition of supervised drop boxes......that is CREATING a voting regulation, not finding it was approved by the state legislation........unconstitutional.......

The word was "staffed", not supervised and however "staffed" was defined, which appears to be a) placed with the approval of the Elections officials and b) with correct security as required by state law.

The courts ruled it as legal.
