"It's heartbreaking. It's a direct attack on democracy. Interfering with people's vote is anti-American," said Greg Kimsey, the Clark County auditor, highlighting the serious implications of the arson.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation is looking into the arson cases at ballot drop boxes in both Portland and Vancouver, further emphasizing the significance and potential threat to the electoral process.
Elections officials reported that fire suppressant inside the Portland ballot box protected almost all the ballots, but three suffered damage, prompting them to contact voters for replacements.
The public was urged to report any suspicious activity around ballot drop boxes, reflecting the heightened concern for electoral security after these attacks.
