Police investigate as ballot boxes are set on FIRE in two states

Police in two separate states are investigating after fires were set at ballot boxes with just eight days to go before Election Day in what appears to be serious cases of attempted election interference.

In Portland, Oregon, police are investigating after a ballot box in Southeast Portland was lit on fire early Monday morning.

Officials responded to the fire around 3:30am. By the time they arrived, the fire had already been put out by security employees working in the area.

Meanwhile, flames and smoke were spotted early Monday morning coming out of a ballot box in Vancouver, Washington.

In Portland, police determined that an 'incendiary device' was put inside the ballot box starting the fire, according to local reports.

The local police explosive disposal unit cleared the device. Authorities have not said how many ballots were impacted.

In Vancouver, authorities said someone put a device outside the ballot box starting the fire. Members of the policy explosive disposal unit were called in to safely remove the device.

I’ll probably use part of my lunch hour to take advantage of early voting in person. No worries about fire, flood, etc.

There was also a mail box set on fire here at a Phoenix post office destroying ballots

Maybe one of their crack pipes fell in with it. Has to be, the way think it’s got to be drugs.

First thought in my mind - were these legit ballots set to go out, or cheating ballots that the left had boxed up and ready to count?

If nothing else, this act, these acts draw attention to the issue a bit.

Which is proof positive that they were lit by Dims to build a fake narrative.

That’s funny. When I vote in person, there is no way of sneaking anything except a ballot into the ballot box. What are we doing wrong in MO?

‘incendiary device’... cute how they don’t actually say what it was. Fire cracker, smoke bomb?

That area of Portland is VERY FAR left, and Vancouver is pretty soundly right. LOTS of FJB stickers up here, and Trump yard signs. Oh, and a guy that has a “9 out of every 5 Biden voters regret their vote” sign that makes me LOL.

Republicans and conservatives are voting for tge return of law and order

We can follow the logic of that meaning they would not cheat. They don’t cheat in their personal lives

But that won’t preclude their being blamed for all kinds of crimes and misdemeanors. That’s the way of evil. It is ‘the accuser’

drop box design and security requirements

Oregon requirement: must be official signage

Washington requirement: must be designed to prevent overflow

nothing beyond that.

To: Morgana; null and void

“Official Ballot Drop Box”

Colloquially known as arson magnets?

If this keeps up, the regime might become suddenly “concerned” about election integrity, this being more “proof” that MAGA-people are out to destroy “our Democracy”.

In Oregon??? ROFLMBO... The closest result from Oregon was 2004... when the Dems had miserable Kerry... and Kerry still won by 4.

The last GOP win was 1984, when Reagan took the entire map, except Mondale's homes states of MINN and DC.

Burn all the boxes, the result is still already known.

The 2024 version of hanging chads - burned ballots that need to be “deemed” Democrat votes.
