FBI Investigates Ballot Box Fires in Vancouver and Portland Destroying Hundreds of Ballots
Oct 28, 2024, 05:07 PM
A fire set in ballot drop boxes in Vancouver, Washington, and Portland, Oregon, has destroyed hundreds of ballots, authorities said. The incidents occurred early Monday morning, involving incendiary devices placed inside the boxes. In Vancouver, the affected drop box was at Fisher's Landing Transit Center, and the last ballot pickup was at 11 a.m. Saturday, meaning ballots deposited afterward were destroyed. Clark County Auditor Greg Kimsey stated that only a few ballots may be salvaged. The FBI is investigating the incidents, which may impact a competitive congressional race. Voters who used the affected drop boxes after 11 a.m. Saturday are urged to contact election officials immediately to obtain new ballots.
