In Portland, OR and Vancouver, WA, multiple ballot boxes were targeted with explosives. Hundreds of ballots went up in smoke.
An arson investigation is underway after multiple ballot boxes were set on fire in cities in Washington and Oregon on Sunday night.
Hundreds of ballots were burned inside a ballot box in Vancouver, Washington, according to FOX 12 Oregon.
The Portland Police Bureau (PPB) also confirmed that an arson investigation is underway after an incendiary device was placed inside a ballot box in East Portland.
This is NOT a small matter. No matter who you voted for, your ballots are NOT counted until they are received and processed at the election division. At this time, no one knows how many ballots were in those boxes, but the estimate is in the hundreds. Furthermore, there is NO real way to determine whose ballots went up in flames, other than the voter themselves stepping up.
The fire in Clark County started at around 4 a.m. Monday, according to a release from the Vancouver Police Department, about half an hour after the fire in Portland.
Kimsey urged anyone who may have placed their ballot in the drop-off box at the Fishers’ Landing transit center at 164th Avenue in Vancouver after 11 a.m. Saturday to check the status of their ballot at votewa.gov.

He said the Clark County plans to increase the frequency of retrieving ballots from the boxes.
It was at least the second time this month that a ballot box in Clark County was targeted. Nearly three weeks ago, “a suspicious device” was found near a ballot box in downtown Vancouver. But that previous incident, during which smoke billowed from a box near West 13th and Esther streets, occurred before ballots were mailed to voters.
That certainly doesn’t inspire confidence now does it? Not only that, but the at least one box was totally left alone for nearly 48 hours??!!
The Clark County Elections ballot drop box at the Fisher's Landing Transit Center was lit on fire this morning. Clark Co. Auditor Greg Kimsey says hundreds of ballots were inside at the time, the last pickup being 11AM Saturday. Full story here https://t.co/sYkz8ydEqH @KATUNews pic.twitter.com/a8vw0QXXoY

Having multiple ballot boxes targeted with explosives on the same day is just too much of a coincidence.

It certainly “could” be Antifa who is responsible. Then again, it could be another group who want to ensure that votes for certain candidates aren’t counted.
However, Antifa has been allowed to run rampant for years in the area while authorities do nothing.
This is far-Left terrorism. This is what it looks like when you let Antifa run wild in the PNW for 10 years and act like they don’t exist. This is what we’re voting against. https://t.co/Fo9b9TgIRn

It’s quite reasonable to assume that Antifa has ties to this.

The larger issue is this: ballots that American citizens filled out and turned in, were turned into ash early this morning.
Now everyone has to figure out if it was THEIR ballot, and with EIGHT days left to go, get themselves another ballot and fill it out, and HAND DELIVER IT.
Stay focused on driving voter turn out & early voting, don’t be deterred from voting by a cowardly act of terrorism.

Vote early, check your voter status & have confidence that our great law enforcement officers in will stop whoever attacked our democratic process. https://t.co/gNmu2bvCeO pic.twitter.com/6uDxmQmWfo
Election security doesn’t just involve printing ballots correctly, nor counting them CORRECTLY. It also means that your ballot remains secure between your home and the election division in your county.
If I were voters in those areas specifically, I’d avoid the ballot boxes and hand deliver my ballot no matter what the “law” says. Ballots went up in smoke and to ensure that YOUR vote is counted, that’s what I’d do and, in fact that’s what we will be doing this week.

It didn’t happen in Seattle, it happened in Vancouver.
Vancouver is about 3hrs by car from Seattle.
Nina says: Thanks for the catch!
Hate_me says: If this was an Antifa act (huge if, as the voting demographics in those cities doesn’t add up), my guess is the intent was to delay the final count rather than to nullify certain votes.
Jack says: They now have a picture or the car, I think.
Scott says: Reports are it was a Volvo.. if that doesn’t SCREAM arrogant leftist, I don’t know what does…
Antifa said they’d do shit like this.. BELIEVE THEM!
Delaying the counting is probably part of the plan, but It’s a safe bet that the boxes targeted were either in red leaning areas, or were chosen as false flag operations. Never underestimate the lengths to which the proggies will go to to destroy our Republic.
Anna A says: This is why I like the early voting system in Ohio. It’s at the county board of elections, and today (which was the first day of after 5 or 6 pm voting) there was a line longer than I normally see. For those of us who vote, the machines and the procedure is exactly the same as we will be doing Nov. 5th. (Photo ID, address verification, and I made sure that the ballot that was printed out showed my choices. I also made sure that the scanner’s count went up by 1 before I left. ) The drop off box is also in the parking lot of the BOE. There were a number of folks directing traffic, also.
[…] AND THIS IS WHY WE SHOULD VOTE IN PERSON, PAPER BALLOTS, PURPLE FINGERS: Ballot Boxes Targeted With Explosives, Hundreds Of Ballots Go Up In Smoke. […]
draigh says: How does the media get away with blaming MAGA adherents when the boxes have “Free GAZA” and “Free Palestine” painted on the sides? This has been verified by the Washington State Patrol.
