The fire in the Portland drop box was suppressed by a fire suppression system. Fortunately, only 3 ballots were badly damaged.
Vancouver and environs is where most of the local Proud Boys come from.
I fervently hope that the perp is caught and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
The suspect car was caught on video, and enough of the incendiary devices that were used at both locations was collected and examined, which is why local LEO's believe that the incidents are definitely connected.
The type of people who would commit this outrage are not known for either their intelligence nor cleverness. It takes collosal arrogance and conceit to try and interfere with the people's right to vote. My guess is that they will try again, which increases their chances of getting caught.
I hand carried my ballot into the mail slot inside the post office because I had read the account of the incident in Arizona, and I didn't want to take any risks with my ballot.
My state also has a ballot tracking system, which voters can sign up for. My ballot has already been accepted and counted.
I would hope that a similar system will become available nationwide.
Anyone in Portland or Vancouver whose ballot may have been affected by the arson, can contact their county election office to arrange for getting a replacement.
Good luck to everyone, and may fascism and all who support or promote it, FAIL!
