Washington State Vote Counting Stopped by Antifa Threats

Yesterday the news came out that a number of vote-counting stations in Washington State were temporarily closed when envelopes containing white powder instead of ballots were opened. At least some of them contained fentanyl.

Election offices in King, Pierce, Skagit and Spokane counties were evacuated Wednesday after unknown white powder was found in envelopes, including traces of fentanyl in mail received by two of the offices.

Law enforcement confirmed the presence of fentanyl in the envelopes sent to Spokane and King counties Wednesday afternoon. No employees were harmed by the substance in either county.

In King County, Detective Robert Onishi with the Renton Police Department confirmed that a “presumptive” field test on the powder determined it contained fentanyl. The substance will require further lab testing to confirm and determine how much. Renton police have turned the investigation over to the FBI and, according to Onishi, cannot confirm whether the envelopes were related.

Spokane Police Department spokesperson Julie Humphreys also said fentanyl was found in the envelope at the Spokane County Elections office.

The news stories yesterday were vague and suggested there were no obvious political motives, however implausible that contention might be.

A message inside the envelope said “something to the effect of stopping the election,” Muse said. “There was no candidate that was identified. There was no religious affiliated group identified. There was no political issue identified. It was just that vague statement.”

Yeah, well, it depends on what you mean by “vague statement.”

A Pierce County elections office in Tacoma, Wash. was evacuated on Nov. 8 after receiving the following letter with a white substance. The letter features an anarchist message and symbols of Antifa, the trans pride progress flag, and the occult. All three symbols are used… https://t.co/Gv40nKOOUd

The symbolism is pretty obviousl the trans pride flag is a pretty obvious one, as was the political message: “We are in charge now and there is no more need for” elections.

It’s an absurd demand, but hardly vague.

The three arrows symbol is definitely an Antifa symbol according to Wikipedia, and was commonly used in socialist movements decades ago.

Obviously, nobody can be certain at this point who sent the flyers and fentanyl, but the claim that there was no obvious political motive seems something of a stretch.

But this is Washington State, where the politicians bend over backward to appease Left-wing radicals and dismiss the violence they inflict. Had these been Nazi symbols there would be press conferences screaming about Donald Trump and MAGA, but Antifa disrupting elections is no big deal at all.

They like Trans people after all. They must be good.

Transtifa has a history of violence, and the most common reaction is to blame the victims for inciting it. Here you can’t do that because the victims are government workers, so they do the next best thing: cover up who did it.

It’s appalling, but it works. Propaganda works. Memory holing inconvenient facts works. Especially because the media is in on it.

“No employees were harmed by the substance”

harmed?

1/2 the people there probably thought of it as a fun treat...
nothing like a little pick me up while your busy stealing elections.

But as an other thought ...

perhaps this could help get rid of all the drop boxes and mail in votes ...hmmm

But don't stop there identifying symbols associated with these lawbreakers! The bottom one is the satanist pentagram.

That tells you everything you need to know.

"perhaps this could help get rid of all the drop boxes and mail in votes ...hmmm"

Apparently great minds do, indeed, think alike ...hmmm.

Much of this crap started in good old WASHINGTON STATE, with ,I believe the years ago election that a man named “Rossi”? lost an election.

The place went downhill from there, if I got that right.

OMG, I was right!

When I saw THAT years ago, I knew we were in trouble.

What are we going to do about it. We cannot just accept this.

Nice to see they’re finally just admitting it

[Mr. Blond]

Dino Rossi, whose victory was overturned after 3 recounts.

police have turned the investigation over to the FBI

Well this "Investigation" will end quickly and quietly.

Nothing to see here, so moooove on...

[Political Junkie Too]

This is what a real interference with an official government act looks like, which is why nothing will be done about it.

I haven’t heard anything about a letter, but Lane County, Oregon. (Eugene) election officials received some white powder. FBI has that case, as well.

Must have been too many Republicans winning races in WA and OR. /s

I don’t know about WA, but OR has postage-free ballot return. No need to go to a drop-box, if you don’t want to.

I remember the Dino Rossi election steals when they first happened.

It wasn't just the governor's race per se, it was like building a dam to divert a current forever.

I know you were being sarcastic about Republicans winning in Washington state, but I wonder "what if" the Gregoire machine had not stolen the governor's race from Rossi with endless recounts and "discovering" ballots still in voting booths in warehouses weeks later? Would a Rossi win have been the foundation of a political shift in the currents, too?

In the 2008 gubernatorial rematch, the Gregoire machine sued a major fundraising PAC that supported Rossi on October 7, 2010 as a last-ditch "October Surprise." It apparently worked, because Gregoire won the election and the lawsuit was dismissed "with prejudice" in 2010.

That was a tactic that was very reminiscent of the 2002 tactic used against Bill Simon (R) in California's gubernatorial election against Gray Davis (D). The Davis administration filed a lawsuit against the Simon family investment business over a payphone company. In August 2002, Simon's family business was found liable of fraud by a Los Angeles jury and awarded a $78 million judgment against the firm. In September an appeals court threw out the verdict.

However, the damage was done and Simon lost the election. Gray Davis was thrown out of office one year later over a "pay to play" scandal.

Watching the politics in Washington State in the 2000s was like watching California Democrat politics migrating north.

Washington State is only vote by mail. There is no in person voting at all. The state went to all mail 10 or 12 years ago.

“At least some of them contained fentanyl.”

Washington....Party favors!...donated by the Democratic Party!

[Carriage Hill]

Down the rabbit hole, and “sanitized” from search lists. That’s becoming SOP these past few days/weeks/months/years.
