ducatedThe statement (mine) that lead to your "single-issue" comment was there are Black conservatives/Republicans who seem better
hrouyou or I, and I asked why you thought that was.
So, now you are saying that they are not smart enough to see
ealsuch a "lie"?Anyone can be duped. There are very smart people that believe that "trickle-down" economics works for everyone, despite the wage (and
t.gap that's been expanding since Reagan introduced "voodoo economics."The single-issue lie you mentioned is a pretty long-lived one. I don't think these well-educated people would stay duped that long.
The idea of "trickle-down" economics has survived this long despite zero evidence of it helping the middle class, so *somebody* must be buying into
Travel distance is not the only parameter to consider. Traffic at the site should also be considered. Only one person can use the single drop box at a time.
They would not face near the congestion at that drop box that urban voters would. In rural Texas counties, the county seat is much more important than in urban Texas counties. One-stoplight towns don't tend to have their own tax offices, courthouse, etc., but rely on the county seat to fulfill that need. The towns that are the county seats often are not that big themselves and so only have one tax office, one courthouse, etc. This seems to work well for them.
In contrast, large ubran cities often have more than one county tax office (usually a main one and some branches) and more than one courthouse, because that's what's needed to serve the community. And that seems to work well for them.

In this case, it was quite likely racially motivated. I don't see any political motivation, unless we are going to go to the point where all violent acts are politically motivated.
It was racially-motivated violence intended to send a message.

I think it is more along the lines of they have realized the Democrat Party does not have as much to offer them, and may have even pivoted
away from their values.

That would depend on which values (i.e., issues) are important to them,
Harris County has a population of 4.728 million as of 2021. If less than a quarter of those people -- 1,000,000 people -- each took one second to drop their ballot in the box, people would be dropping off ballots 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, 60 minutes an hour, 60 seconds a minute for over eleven and a half days.

No, it's not, but it's supposed to be convenient. What's the harm in having more than one drop box per county? Is it that too many people might vote too easily?

Those are just a few of the issues I hear mentioned.
I would imagine that those living in the nearby city might look at their crime rates, police brutality, etc., and realize it has not gotten any better (but worse) over several decades of Democrats as mayor, which
might make them start looking elsewhere. They may also be concerned
about other things listed above.

I am guessing it is one of at least three.

By the same person?

Nevertheless, there's absolutely no legitimate reason to only have one per county irrespective of the counties' population differences.
There's also no legitimate reason to move the opening time for Sunday early voting from 11am to 1pm, when it's well known that many Black churches have "Souls to the Polls" events at which they all go directly from church to vote.
