Democrats and their allies in the establishment media have been pushing hard for mail-in balloting for the 2020 presidential election.
Despite the high potential for fraud, the ineptitude of the U.S. Postal Service and the difficulty some voters have with properly filling out and sending back their ballots, many states have done away with restrictions on who can cast absentee ballots, and several states are mailing ballots to every registered voter.
Amid the whole convoluted setup comes an incident out of Baldwin Park, California, where firefighters say someone intentionally chucked a burning newspaper into a ballot drop box, potentially destroying dozens of ballots inside, KABC-TV reported.
KCBS-TV said authorities including the FBI are investigating the matter as a suspected arson, and no perpetrators had been identified.
According to both Los Angeles news outlets, at about 8 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 18, officials said someone set on fire the ballots that were placed inside a designated metal box in front of the Baldwin Park public library.
Witnesses told KABC the drop box was like a chimney with smoke pouring out of it as the blaze burned inside. Firefighters were forced to pour water on the fire, leaving citizens’ ballots damaged by water and fire.
“People are frustrated across the country; it’s no different in Baldwin Park,” the city’s mayor, Manuel Lozano, told KABC. “The incident that happened … does send a very bad message, as it is, the frustration with the voting box, and then this occurs.”
Arson investigators have not revealed how many ballots were destroyed. Initial estimates pegged the number of ballots involved in the incident at 60 to 100, but the figure now is over 200, officials said, according to KCBS.

Don’t tell me, a predominantly red city, right?
If ATMs are being cut apart and then blown up with explosives, a mail box or ballot drop would be an easy target for such a group of malcontents.
Well, at least in this location, it won’t make any significant difference on the national or state level. It is totally hispanic and thus almost always elects Democrats at all levels.
Dems are twigging it that the mail-ins are not all for Joe.
Reality keeps contradicting narrative, so reality must go.
>> investigating the matter as a suspected arson
Suspected?
I guess like terrorism you have to be a card carrying member of some recognized group or something
That's some nice counting by those whose job is to count ballots.
Democrats have been caught engaging in shenangigans even in their own primaries.
October 19
Sounds like the work of Antifa.
That's what I was thinking - these are the people that we citizens trust to count the vote fairly?
Wonder how often they collect ballots from these locations? How are they monitored so that ballot integrity is maintained?
Maybe someone in an Obama mask should go around and inspect ballot collection boxes around the city.
The lefties are such uncivil, criminal misfits and malcontents. As Michael Savage said...Liberalism is a mental disorder. These DIMs/LIBs/leftists are doomed to being on the outside looking in for the rest of their malignant existence. Truly pathetic.
Hispanic voters are generally less and less hair with the Dems. The left has abandoned the family-centric ideals that underpin much of Hispanic culture, and Hispanic Americans don’t live or die over uncontrolled immigration being legal or not; MOST, in fact, want ILLEGAL immigration stopped, while they do want to see the hoops and hurdles of LEGAL immigration reworked into a less dollar-driven system.
So...I’m not really all that ready to buy the idea that Hispanic == Democrat voters.
New tagline...
SoCal working class town. Se habla Espanol.
There using drop boxes here and that picture shows the reason we took ballots to the post office
The drop boxes are small enough 3-4 men could put one in a truck and drive away
I didn’t think ballots were in danger of being incinterated though. Mail in voting just sux.
“hair” == happy
And malcontents, if caught trying to destroy votes, would be an easy target for a round to the head.
Destroy votes, immediate death penalty.
Use it in good cheer.
