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.

    That wrote “free gaza” on the incendiary devices and drives a Volvo? I mean… maybe, I guess.

        Try learning about an event by reading more than just one source. See if you can do it all by yourself without someone feeding it to you. I’m rooting for you. Just think, you could have already learned this yourself using Google and it would have taken less time and words than you spent asking for it in your comment.

          You don’t have to be a dick about it. We’re all here to converse with each other, not google. Maybe they wanted to engage with another human being instead of a search engine. But instead they got you. Come on, chill out and treat others how you want to be treated. You can do it, I believe in you.
