FBI Investigating Arson Attacks on Ballot Boxes in Washington and Portland

HeadlineOct 29, 2024

The FBI says it’s investigating three separate but related arson attacks on ballot boxes in the Pacific Northwest. One of the attacks destroyed hundreds of ballots in Washington state’s Clark County, a precinct that’s home to a closely watched congressional race. Other attacks damaged ballot boxes in Portland, Oregon, and nearby Vancouver, Washington. Police in Portland have identified a “suspect vehicle” in the case. Oregon’s secretary of state condemned the arson as “an attack on our democracy.”
