Ballot Box Fires

Seems everyone has heard about the ballot box fires in Vancouver, WA and Portland OR. The odd detail is that the incendiary device in Portland was placed on the outside of the ballot box, while the device in Vancouver was placed inside the box. It appears that the ballots in Vancouver were the only ones destroyed.

Vancouver, WA is in Clark County, and has experienced a recent political shift. It was strongly democrat in 2020, but after 4 years of Biden/Harris, the pendulum has swung the other direction. There are now more registered republicans than democrats in the county.

This is also a district where incumbent Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D) faces off for a second time against Trump-backed Republican Joe Kent. Currently, Kent has the edge in election polling.

Geographically, Vancouver sits on the north side of the Columbia River. On the south side of the river is Portland, OR...home of Rose City Antifa.

Not saying Antifa is guilty, but this looks like their style.

I would NEVER trust my precious vote to a ballot box. I go directly to the polls...or in the case of early voting, I go directly to city hall.

Corruption in the Democrats is so entrenched that they're resort to anything
Back in 1990 and 1992 I worked for the Washington County, Oregon, elections department in Hillsboro, which is roughly 30 minutes SW of Portland. Back then I worked for the May primaries for both years, my job was to crimp the metal spines on the ballot book pages for the booths for each and every county precinct. Then one of the supervisors and myself delivered all of the individual booths with installed books to each and every precinct. On election night there was a crew of five of us that went to various meeting spots where each precinct manager l, escorted by a high ranking sheriff's deputy that was at the polling station as well, dropped the locked and sealed ballot boxes and handed them over to us under the supervision of a high ranking sheriff deputy, in which we put the locked and sealed boxes in the trunks of their squad vehicles. Polls closed at 8pm, no more votes were allowed to be cast after 8pm, back then all you had to do was to punch out the card, it went fast. We were to have all boxes delivered to the county counting room by 9pm, all of the votes put through the machine and tallied no later than midnight, they were usually finished by 10pm anyways. The point is that there was a chain of supervised possession of the ballots and boxes with law enforcement included, now all of the drop off locations are merely on some street corner unsupervised. This is how fraud and ballot stuffing happens.

@Gibbon There could have been Trump votes in there as well

@NativePortlander1970 Well at least we know he didn't succeed in burning them.

@DDaverde I would not be in the least bit surprised if they happened in red areas
@NativePortlander1970 I check the voter registration records and Clark County has shifted red since 2020. Portland, on the other hand, is deep blue.
@BizSuitStacy I remember when both Clark County and the Portland area were somewhat more conservative leaning, before the 90's cali and east coast carpetbagging cockroaches invaded.
