 AT> What is the point of the ballot box?

To collect absentee ballots from people who won't be able to vote on
election day. Or choose not to vote in person.

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

Because postal employees are not election workers tasked with
maintaining the viability of ballots.

 People are being asked to call the election office in their area if
 they dropped off their ballot between certain windows of time when
 ballots would have been in the box. They can either request another
 ballot or appear at their voting location and request a provisional
 ballot.
