October 28th 2024.
On a seemingly ordinary Monday, chaos erupted as ballot boxes in Portland, Oregon, and Vancouver, Washington, were set ablaze. These incidents, just days before the 2024 election, have sparked concern and outrage across the nation.
Reports reveal that these actions were carried out using incendiary devices, causing early voting drop boxes to catch fire. In Portland, a drop box was discovered engulfed in flames in the early hours of the morning. Thankfully, due to the suppression system inside the container and the quick response of a security guard, the fire was extinguished promptly. However, it was still disheartening to learn that three ballots were damaged in the process.
Unfortunately, the chaos did not end there. A few hours later, another drop box, this time at a transit center in Vancouver, was also found burning. Despite having a suppression system in place, the fire had already consumed hundreds of ballots, according to Clark County's auditor, Greg Kimsey. He described these incidents as a direct attack on democracy and expressed his sadness over the destruction caused.
In light of these events, Kimsey urged voters who had dropped off their ballots after 11am on Saturday to request replacements from his office. As the nation gears up for the election, it is crucial that every vote is counted and every voice is heard. Let us stand united against any attempts to disrupt or undermine the democratic process.
