As pre-election passions intensify down the stretch to Election Day, two ballot drop-boxes in the adjacent cities of Portland, Oregon and Vancouver, Washington were torched with incendiary devices on Monday morning, incinerating hundreds of ballots and potentially affecting the outcome of one of the tightest US House races in the country. “I strongly denounce any acts of terror that aim to disrupt lawful and fair elections in Washington state,” said Washington Secretary of State Steve Hobbs in a statement.
The box in Portland fared better by far: Thanks to the successful activation of its internal fire-suppression system, only three ballots were damaged. However, in Vancouver, hundreds of ballots were fully destroyed as that box’s anti-arson technology failed. Both boxes had systems designed to release a flame-suppressing powder when a certain temperature in the box is detected. The Vancouver box had last been emptied at 8:00 am on Sunday.
The Portland box was attacked at 3:30 am and the Vancouver box at 4:00 am. Portland police released photos of a Volvo S-60 they think was involved in both incidents. They place the model year between 2001 and 2004. The sedan didn’t have a front license plate, and cops weren’t able to read the rear tag. Investigators suspect Monday’s twin attacks are related to an earlier incident on Oct. 8 in Vancouver, in which a box was found aflame with some type of device lying next to it. Apparently, no ballots were harmed that time.
Here’s a clue: 20 yr. old Volvo.
What’s that tell you, Sherlock?
Tells me it was a dumb kamala supporter 9:28
That describes about every tenth car in Portland.
So 10% of portland will be voting for kamala. It should a landslide all over the country then.
Portland cops now say it’s a white male, short stature, short hair, between 30-40 y/o, with experience in metal fabrication or welding, driving a Volvo S60 with an uneven paint job, and an identifiable rear tag. Tick, tick, tick.
