Ballots set on fire in three states as Election Day approaches

In a troubling pre-Election Day atmosphere, two ballot drop boxes and a Postal Service mailbox have been deliberately damaged, inciting fear and uncertainty among voters.

Oregon's Multnomah County Elections Division emphasized that fire suppressants saved most ballots, despite three being damaged due to an incendiary attack.

Clark County Auditor Greg Kimsey highlighted the dire conditions faced by hundreds of ballots, stating, 'The majority of the ballots are completely destroyed and the remaining ballots are severely damaged and very very wet.'

U.S. Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez condemned the attacks on democracy, noting the importance of reassuring voters that steps are being taken to get them replacement ballots.
