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 hope they catch the guy alive and we prosecute the asshole and make a public example of this guy who is most likely Republican.

      I would bet up to $1k that this guy is Republican, but I don’t actually care what party they belong to. Make an example of them.
