Arsonists Destroy Ballot Drop Boxes In OR And WA

Portland’s ABC affiliate reports:

KATU was on the scene at Fisher’s Landing Transit Center in Vancouver early Monday morning, where heavy smoke was seen coming from inside a dropoff ballot box. Our photographer captured grey smoke steadily billowing out of the Park and Ride ballot box at Fisher’s Landing Transit Center near Southeast 162nd Avenue just after 6 a.m.

Multiple police units were in the area, and the ballot box was cordoned off by police tape as it continued to smoke. Around 6:30 a.m., KATU captured footage of first responders releasing a pile of actively burning ballots onto the ground, which continued to smolder and smoke heavily even after the flames were put out.

They are literally trying to destroy democracy.

If you placed ballots in Vancouver, WA and Portland, OR PLEASE contact local election authorities to find out if your vote has been received or if you can vote another way.
