Police say fires set at ballot boxes in Oregon and Washington are connected; ‘suspect vehicle’ ID'd
Incendiary devices have been set off at two ballot drop boxes — one in Portland, Oregon, and another in nearby Vancouver, Washington — in what one official called a “direct attack on democracy."
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.

Ah yes wiping out hundreds of democrat (and some non Democrat) votes in two of the bluest cities in the north west will surely have an impact on the election.
The Washington district that includes Vancouver has one of the most contested House races in the country this year.
Glusencamp-Perez ran on opposing Biden and working with Republicans.
Kent ran on opposing Perez for being a Democrat.
Absolutely insane.
Hey I just learned about her. Sinema 2.0!
One article I read said that the representative race was much closer. It might not affect the president, but could affect other positions.
