Alex Kaplan at MMFA:

During July and August media appearances, the leadership of the election denier organization True the Vote revealed that it is trying to partner with local sheriffs to monitor ballot drop boxes for supposed voter fraud during the 2024 election, particularly in swing states like Wisconsin, where the organization’s founder claimed to “have three very influential sheriffs.” True the Vote was founded in 2009 — following the election of former President Barack Obama — by then-tea party activist Catherine Engelbrecht with the goal of pushing for voter ID laws and purging voter rolls. Engelbrecht, whom “Stop the Steal” organizer Ali Alexander has called “the godmother of the election integrity movement,” and her business partner, Gregg Phillips, a Republican operative and former Mississippi official, have repeatedly pushed false election-related claims since at least 2016. Phillips claimed without evidence that millions of illegal votes had been cast in the 2016 presidential election, and both Engelbrecht and Phillips were listed as executive producers for and starred in 2000 Mules, a widely debunked 2022 film that claims to show evidence of widespread voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election. (Salem Media, which distributed the film, has since retracted it and removed it from its platforms.) Engelbrecht has admitted that former President Donald Trump is a “natural beneficiary of the majority of what we [True the Vote] do.”

Engelbrecht and Phillips also cultivated a close relationship with influencers in the QAnon community, turning over supposedly “devastating” evidence of 2020 election fraud and asking the QAnon community to “start connecting dots” and look further into election software company Konnech. As a result, those figures targeted the company, and the Los Angeles County, California, district attorney later indicted Konnech CEO Eugene Yu, apparently spurred at least in part by True the Vote’s and QAnon figures’ efforts. The charges were ultimately dropped, with the county and Yu later reaching a $5 million settlement. True the Vote also collaborated with a then-QAnon supporter whose group monitored drop boxes during the 2022 elections.

Ahead of the 2024 elections, the organization has launched an app based on flawed data that “enables users to research voter data and submit voter-eligibility challenges to local election offices.” In multiple media appearances in late July and early August, Engelbrecht appeared to reveal an additional 2024 effort to partner with local sheriffs and target ballot drop boxes, particularly in swing states like Wisconsin.  During a July 30 interview with self-described Christian nationalist “prophet” Lance Wallnau — in which Wallnau predicted that “there will be cheating” using drop boxes in swing states like Wisconsin and Michigan — Engelbrecht said that True the Vote would be “working with sheriffs to identify areas that sheriffs would be willing to allow us to grant them camera equipment that they can monitor and we can livestream.” When Wallnau asked specifically about Wisconsin, Engelbrecht said, “We have three very influential sheriffs, and we look forward to more. We’re getting there next week to do a site assessment.”

Election Denial organization True The Vote is trying to partner with local sheriffs to monitor ballot drop boxes for supposed “voter fraud”.

Illegitimate president biden passed an executive order for government agencies to harvest ballots for him. Just another example of how the 2020/2024 fix is in again.

As always, never trust a democrat and NEVER leave your child alone with one.

Luzerne County manager pressured to reverse decision that would’ve made it harder to safely vote by mail in some Pennsylvania towns.

WVIA - Luzerne County will not provide drop boxes for mail-in ballots By Sarah Scinto | WVIA News Published September 19, 2024 Crocamo said all of the locations had security issues, such as "lack of oversight." "I am particularly concerned about the potential for illegal activities," she said.

They claimed security risks, and that the drop box in a Mountain Top, Pennsylvania assisted living old folks home "lacks oversight"? And I thought well then somebody better check in on the senior citizens living there? What place could have better oversight to begin with than a facility with 24 hour staff on duty and probably already existing video surveillance?

Those of us who live in northeastern Pennsylvania could easily guess this is probably about Hazleton. Hazleton is infamous for an anti-immigrant ordinance in the aughts under Mayor Lou Barletta, who went on to serve in the U.S. Congress representing parts of Luzerne and Lackawanna County. I'm pretty sure this is about election denial conspiracies and anti-immigrant sentiments toward Hazleton. It doesn't really make sense for voter intimidation at mail ballot dropboxes considering that conservatives have been for many months running ads here in northeastern Pennsylvania, targeting Trump fans, telling people to vote for Trump by mail. Republicans embraced mail in ballots again in Pennsylvania. Trump has only recently reversed and started fear mongering again about mail ballots. But the reporters covering this should've certainly asked Romilda Crocamo if she's admitting that she has concerns about conspiracy theories leading to vigilantism. It should be determined exactly what security matters in this "political climate" are of concern. And then deal with those concerns if they're at all valid. Voter disenfranchisement of elderly & disabled citizens, or exposing the high risk to crowded polling locations, is not the answer.

Obviously I wrote to my elected representatives as soon as I read about this, because it’s a disability justice issue. And I obviously was not the only one. The state attorney general is reported to have sent a letter to Luzerne County, and the ACLU of PA filed a lawsuit. The drop boxes will be deployed. 

Drop boxes back in Luzerne County, lawsuit hearing canceled By Sarah Scinto | WVIA News Published October 7, 2024 at 10:55 AM EDT Luzerne County voters will be able to use ballot drop boxes in November once again. County Manager Romilda Crocamo has reversed her decision and said she will deploy the drop boxes "as a result" of correspondence from the state Attorney General. The American Civil Liberties Union was due in court today on a lawsuit they filed against Luzerne County on behalf of voters and voting rights group In This Together NEPA. They alleged Crocamo broke with state election code by pulling the boxes without a vote from the county board of elections. That hearing has been canceled and the motion withdrawn as of Monday morning. According to a statement from ACLU, the group withdrew the motion after Crocamo "agreed to restore mail ballot drop boxes."

Custom Packaging Box Solutions: Elevating Brands and Enhancing Customer Experience

In today's competitive market, packaging plays a pivotal role in shaping a brand's identity and influencing customer decisions. While products are the primary offering, how they're presented to customers can make a lasting impression. Custom packaging box solutions have emerged as a powerful tool for brands looking to stand out in the crowded marketplace, offering a unique blend of functionality, aesthetics, and marketing potential.

Why Custom Packaging Matters

Custom packaging boxes are more than just containers for products—they are an extension of the brand experience. Here are a few reasons why investing in custom packaging is essential for businesses:

Brand Differentiation In a sea of similar products, packaging can set your brand apart. With tailored designs, logos, and unique color schemes, custom packaging ensures that your product is easily recognizable on the shelf or online. It acts as a silent salesman, conveying your brand's story and values before the customer even interacts with the product.

Customer Engagement The unboxing experience has become a vital touchpoint in the customer journey. With the rise of social media, especially platforms like Instagram and YouTube, consumers often share their unboxing experiences. Custom packaging boxes that are visually appealing and thoughtfully designed can create memorable moments, encouraging customers to share their experiences and build brand loyalty.

Tailored Functionality Different products require different types of packaging. A one-size-fits-all approach may not protect or present your product optimally. Custom packaging solutions allow brands to tailor the packaging to fit the product’s size, shape, and specific needs. This not only ensures better protection during shipping but also enhances the overall user experience by providing ease of access and handling.

Sustainability With increasing consumer demand for eco-friendly practices, custom packaging allows brands to select sustainable materials. By choosing recyclable or biodegradable options, businesses can reduce their environmental footprint and appeal to eco-conscious customers. Custom packaging solutions enable companies to strike a balance between aesthetic appeal and environmental responsibility.

Cost Efficiency While it might seem like a luxury, custom packaging can actually lead to cost savings in the long run. By designing packaging that fits products perfectly, businesses can reduce material waste, minimize shipping costs, and prevent damage during transit. Custom packaging also allows companies to streamline their packaging processes, saving time and resources.

Types of Custom Packaging Solutions

There are various types of custom packaging boxes available to cater to different business needs. Each option offers unique benefits, depending on the nature of the product and the brand’s goals:

Corrugated Boxes Known for their durability, corrugated boxes are ideal for shipping and protecting fragile products. They are fully customizable in terms of size, print design, and finishing options. These boxes are versatile and widely used across various industries, from electronics to cosmetics.

Rigid Boxes Often associated with luxury items, rigid boxes exude a sense of elegance and quality. Their sturdy structure makes them perfect for high-end products such as jewelry, watches, and premium gifts. Rigid boxes can be customized with special finishes like embossing, foil stamping, and matte lamination to create an upscale look.

Folding Cartons Lightweight and flexible, folding cartons are widely used for retail packaging. These boxes can be printed with intricate designs, logos, and product information. They are suitable for various industries, including food, beverages, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics.

Mailer Boxes Designed specifically for e-commerce businesses, mailer boxes provide a seamless unboxing experience. They are strong, easy to assemble, and can be customized with brand colors and graphics. Mailer boxes offer both functionality and brand visibility, making them an excellent choice for subscription boxes and online retail.

Custom Inserts For products that require extra protection, custom inserts (made from foam, cardboard, or molded pulp) can be added to the packaging. Inserts not only safeguard the product but also enhance the overall presentation, especially for delicate or multi-part items.

The Role of Design in Custom Packaging

Effective packaging design is crucial for making a strong impression. A well-designed custom packaging box communicates professionalism and can evoke emotions that align with your brand’s identity. Here are a few design elements to consider:

Color Scheme: Colors have psychological effects and can influence consumer behavior. Bold, vibrant colors can convey energy and excitement, while softer hues might suggest luxury and elegance. Choose a palette that resonates with your brand values.

Typography: The style and size of the text on packaging are just as important as the colors. Typography should be legible and consistent with your brand’s voice. Elegant fonts work well for luxury products, while playful fonts may be suitable for a youthful brand.

Imagery: High-quality images or illustrations can tell a story about your product and engage customers. Imagery should be cohesive and aligned with the overall branding to enhance product appeal.

Finishing Touches: Matte or glossy finishes, foil stamping, embossing, and spot UV can give your packaging a premium feel, making it more attractive to consumers. These finishing options can also add a tactile element, inviting customers to touch and feel the box.

Conclusion

Custom packaging box solutions are an investment in your brand’s success. They offer a powerful way to differentiate your products, create meaningful customer interactions, and even reduce costs through tailored designs. Whether you’re looking to protect fragile goods during shipping or create a memorable unboxing experience, custom packaging is a crucial element of modern business strategies. By working with a packaging partner like Boxloom Custom Solutions, businesses can create packaging that not only reflects their brand identity but also meets their functional needs, leaving a lasting impression on customers.

In an age where consumers expect more than just a product, custom packaging ensures that your brand delivers a complete and memorable experience.
