As Election Day approaches, two ballot drop boxes in the Pacific Northwest were targeted by fires this week, resulting in the destruction of hundreds of ballots. The incidents occurred in Portland, Oregon, and Vancouver, Washington, with investigators currently searching for the perpetrator responsible for both acts.
In Portland, a ballot drop box was found with an incendiary device attached to its side, which was promptly extinguished by security personnel. Fortunately, most of the ballots in this box remained unharmed. However, in Vancouver, a second ballot box was set on fire, leading to the destruction of hundreds of ballots. These incidents are believed to be linked to a previous incident in Vancouver earlier this month.
