A U.S. Postal Service mailbox full of mail-in ballots in Phoenix, Arizona was set on fire early Thursday morning, damaging several of the ballots and other pieces of mail. According to the Phoenix Fire Department, approximately 20 of the ballots were damaged, while the Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes' office said the number of affected ballots was still in flux.
The mailbox was a drive-up collection box at a post office in Phoenix, which leans Democratic in what is now a purple battleground state. Recent polling shows former President Donald Trump holding a small lead over Vice President Kamala Harris there.
