Ballot drop boxes with completed ballots were set on fire overnight in Vancouver, Wash. and Portland, Ore., home of the radical Antifa movement. Vancouver is a slightly conservative community across the river from Portland. Police suspect arson in both of the fires.
The Portland drop box had a fire suppression system inside the box, and only three ballots were damaged.
Hundreds of ballots were damaged north of the river, however, in spite of the fire suppression system supposedly installed in the “secure” ballot drop box. The drop box was on the east side of Vancouver, near Fisher’s Creek, which closer to Camas, a very conservative-voting area.
That region of southwest Washington is the state’s 3rd congressional district and where one of the tightest races in the country is happening.
First-term Democrat Rep. Marie Glusenkamp Perez, who is co-chairs the Rural Antifa Blue Dog Democrats in Congress with Alaska Rep. Mary Peltola, is facing a Republican challenger — Joe Kent.
Earlier this month, a ballot drop box was set on fire in Portland and police say all three arson instances appear to be connected.
Last week in Phoenix, about 20 ballots were destroyed, and others were damaged when a fire was set in a mailbox.
“Police suspect arson in both of the fires.”
No kidding?
Defending democracy my backside
Another good reason to vote IN-Person!
Unsecured ballot drop boxes. Imagine that! They cannot afford for conservatives to win at any cost!
Why don’t they (dems) just wait till they get to the election office and change them there? It’s less conspicuous
Sounds to me that the MAGA Warriors are out in force! Anything to disrupt the election.
So they burned ballots in a conservative area? Might want to rethink your statement.
They know they are going to lose, so by burning a drop box and mail box they hope to get them banned. The fewer people who vote the better the chances of MAGA winning.
In what States/districts did mail in voting/drop boxes actually result in a measurable increase in voters?
“MAGA Warriors are out in force”????
In Washington State and Oregon?? I doubt that!
It also seems counterproductive to destroy the few “conservative leaning” ballots, if your scenario had any credence. I hope they had cameras and can apprehend the culprits.
I hope they find them as well, and I’m going to laugh my ass off when they are exposed as MAGA Warriors.
I am going to laugh at you fake Alaskan when you’re proven wrong again.
You are trying hard to be a disturber of the truth.
Somehow that seems questionable.
I suppose we will know when we either hear a great deal about the culprits (right leaning hooligans) or not a peep (Antifa). Such is the state of our justice system and media these days. Either way I will NOT laugh, because destroying ballots and interfering with the vote of other citizens, is no laughing matter.
Again I point out that destroying ballots with a higher percentage of being in you favor makes no sense.
FYI:
USA Today reports that according to unnamed sources familiar with the investigation, the incendiary devices used, carried messages of “Free Gaza” or “Free Palestine”.
Not sure how attacking a democratic process thousands of miles away can free Gaza. Can you explain that logic AKFF?
Can you be this stupid Alaskans for freedom .?.? Conservative neighbor hood burning their own ballots. Ya makes perfect sense.. you are deranged or have an extremely low IQ . Or both.
Just wait and see what happens post Nov-05 … might get “REALLY” spicy!
Those drunk on power, infected with narcissism, won’t want to give up!
No real chain of custody, no security, what could go wrong will go wrong.
This is the first step to dismantle mail in voting, a stated Project 2025 goal. This will allow massive social security and Medicare cuts without political retribution
Antifa, leftists should stop trying to gaslight America and start calling the fascist of antifa out for what they are.
Still waiting for the first antfa identified arrest out of the 1,000 + indicted January 6th insurrectionists. Do you have antifa one name?
Let me know the name of anyone charged with insurrection from the events of January 6th, and what does that have to do with antifa being actual fascists and gaslighting America?
John Earle Sullivan, I know he’s not antifa because nobody is antifa (more gaslighting by the left).
I’m just guessing here but the far left extremists carried their phones and phone numbers to the Jan.6 Farewell Speech to participate in their own fashion just as they carried them to Trump events and the inauguration street hysterias. This data is knowable and known by monitoring agencies of every persuasion.
There was no insurrection. Also no one was armed .
Ohhh!!! Project 2025! That scary boogieman.
Have you actually read Project 2025, Frank? It is publicly available. Check it out. You might find out it is not as scary as the leftists want you to believe. It is a bit far right… yes, but it is a starting position, not a final stance.
And, do not feel bad if you have not read it. Most of the folks on the right have not actually looked at it either.
.
Final note. Mail in voting is ripe with avenues for abuse and fraud. It is about as secure as a screen door on a submarine. Anyone who insists on it is opening themselves up for fraud. If the folks on the right were stuffing the ballot drop boxes, and altering the outcome of elections, you can bet it would disappear.
Curiously, even after a MASSIVE security flaw in vote by mail is exposed (lighting the ballot drop boxes on fire), Frank still supports it.
I cannot imagine someone who is so disconnected from reality that they refuse to see the stupidity of it all.
Trolls gotta troll. It gets cold under that bridge
Police suspect arson. No sh–.
We are within days of all hell breaking loose.
In the middle of all this I got $ that says China attacks Taiwan.
Kasey, that is the main reason why I ALWAYS vote in person on the day of!!! The other reason I vote in person is that Patriotic feeling I get🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
4 YEARS AGO: DOW at 19,000. TODAY it closed at 41,250.
4 YEARS AGO: unemployment was 9.2%. TODAY: 4.2%.
FACTS MATTER!
And, what exactly did the current administration do to make that happen? Please share the facts.
.
Other fact:
4 years ago, the nation was in the midst of the COVID-19 panicdemic. Businesses were shuttered with the eager approval of the Democrats. Do you think that may have contributed to those numbers? Perhaps, if you set your date range to a time before January 2020, you might see the real story. What you just did is like comparing average temperature in January versus average temp in July and declaring global warming.
thats funny, but when it comes to inflation it started the day Biden got elected.
Not actually. Per the US Inflation Calculator website, inflation was running between a high of 2.5% and a low of 0.1% under Trump, Jan 2017-Jan 2021. That includes the panicdemic as well.
Almost as soon as Biden gets sworn in, Jan 2021, it starts rising. Feb 2021, inflation rate: 1.7%, June 5.4%, and December 2021 7.0%.
.
While it takes some time for a major economic factor like that to change, I am going to say it was the Executive Orders Biden signed overturning almost everything Trump did (Keystone pipeline, remain in Mexico and build the wall, etc…) that really pushed it up.
.
Technically, the current inflation runaway train started when Biden took office.
We pumped billions of dollars of American tax payer money to Ukraine. Biden blew up the nord stream gas line . Shall I go on. Shutdown critical Acess to massive rare earth mineral deposits, shut down half the north slope for oil drilling. Killed 14 of our kids using a faulty exit strategy or no strategy from Afghanistan. The guy has been a blabbering fool. Worst president in American history and that’s saying something after jimmy peanut picking Carter.
Four years ago we were in the depths of the plandemic…..facts matter.
Treason
Oregon Anarchists are a branch of the DNC. Modern day Brownshirts to wreak havoc and create chaos.
Fire suppression system installed in drop boxes. Kinda like they expect stuff like this to happen. Some time after the election is “certified” we’ll know who’s ballots burned.
Finger pointing gaslighting BS. You have absolutely no idea who lit the match nor whether the votes in that bin were for either candidate. Typical of right wing propaganda cult spew.
Does not matter.
It exposes a security weakness that was obvious to anyone with half a brain. Mail in voting and drop boxes provide the same security as taking away the door locks on your house.
.
And, to be honest, if the ballots destroyed were expected to be democrat, every news media outlet in the country would be running this as the lead story. Oh… and the drop boxes would be moved to indoor locations almost immediately.
.
Finally. If you drop your ballot in the mail, or a drop box, you only think you voted. At the bare minimum, hand it to an election worker, or use a box in an official election location.
It was lots of bins not just 1 you moron . I’m sure a republican burned ballots in republican neighborhoods. Makes great sense.
As usual our group of commie leftist commenters grasping at straws. Attempting to stir up shit .
