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.

    A lot of my Slavic people live there and they’re voting red. Unless it’s closer to the freeway I guess it’d be bluer there. But still. I wouldn’t think that these are filled to the brim with Harris votes

      Oh well. Any votes destroyed is bad.
