An incendiary device caused damage to another ballot box in Portland, Oregon…
An early-morning fire severely damaged a ballot box in Vancouver, Washington, leaving an unknown number of ballots destroyed and raising new concerns about voter security. The incident, which took place in Vancouver—a bustling suburb of Portland, Oregon, located just across the Columbia River—comes in a critical congressional district where Democrat Marie Gluesenkamp Pérez defeated Republican Joe Kent by 0.8% in 2022. The slim win has heightened attention on voter turnout in the district.
Details of the Incident
Local news outlet KATU-TV reported that the last ballot retrieval from this location occurred around 24 hours before the fire, suggesting that hundreds of ballots might be unaccounted for. Witnesses indicate that only a small number of ballots were saved from the blaze, sparking concerns over whether this loss could impact election results. Authorities have not yet provided exact figures for the ballots affected but are working to determine the full extent of the damage.
The Clark County Elections ballot drop box at the Fisher's Landing Transit Center was lit on fire this morning. Clark Co. Auditor Greg Kimsey says hundreds of ballots were inside at the time, the last pickup being 11AM Saturday. Full story here https://t.co/sYkz8ydEqH @KATUNews pic.twitter.com/a8vw0QXXoY

Rerun 2020 now add Lawfare & Now burning ballott boxes
Is this nationwide?
Remedy NOW
The lawless Northwest. Defund the cops. Sanctuary cities. Antifa. BLM.
This is election interference and needs to be stopped. Maybe having a camera on each box (that cannot be seen) and then charging that person with a felony.
Deep-six the ballot collection boxes altogether! Return to precinct voting in the district of residence and end the bazillion ways this excuse for legit voting can be scammed!
Freak? Yes. Accident? Doubtful!
I don’t trust a coincidence…not this close to Election Day.
Just look for the local DemoCommie with TDS.
Ammo to vote by Mail & use PO boxes vs drop boxes
No mail-in voting and a zero drop-box return to in-person, same day, precinct voting! In-person paper or card ballots in each precinct, only voters registered in that precinct (must be their primary residence of record), photo IDs required, entry registration signatures verified by election judges against signature record, the polls close at 7:00 p.m. and votes are tallied on-site at each precinct, votes and ballots are then delivered via “chain of custody” to regional offices where precinct tallies are recorded and can later be verified to be accurate by the precinct election judges! Both Party election judges jointly resolve any discrepancies and sign-off on final tally numbers! This worked well in the past and had zero holes for the vote to be contested!
