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.

    This is the Republican plan to steal the election. When does the civil war start? I give it 6 weeks before the first casualties pile in.

        Yes you’re right, we should try toning down our rhetoric

      Are you kidding? Election day is a week away and an election clerk in San Antonio already got punched for telling somebody to take off his MAGA hat. I’m surprised nobody’s been shot already.

      Assuming they catch the shitbags, I see no need for further violence.

      If it is a plan, it’s pretty dumb. Of all places this act could sway the results, Oregon and Washington are pretty low on the list.

        We might not hear about it, but there will definitely be consequences for these people when they’re caught.
