Police say fires set at ballot boxes in Oregon and Washington are connected; ‘suspect vehicle’ ID'd - eviltoast

The ballot drop boxes in Washington and Oregon both have fire suppression systems that are designed to activate when the temperature inside reaches a certain point, coating ballots inside with a fire-suppressing powder.

For unknown reasons, the system failed to prevent the destruction of hundreds of ballots in Vancouver, just across the Columbia River from Portland.

    I’m sorry, have you seen the j6 idiots?

    Do you honestly believe they can count to 20 even after taking off their socks?

    You can’t beat stupid, you can’t scare stupid, we need to just make voting one of those things they can’t get to easily, ie make the boxes like bank drops, or some other physical means.

    Rednecks gonna redneck.
