With less than a week until Election Day, election manipulation appears to be in full swing in parts of the United States.
On Monday morning, a ballot box in Vancouver, Washington, home to the state’s 3rd Congressional District, burst into flames after an incendiary device was planted on it explodedresulting in an unknown number of ballots being destroyed. This is an critical district for Democrats in their quest to regain control of the House of Representatives; Incumbent Democrat Marie Gluesenkamp Perez will once again face Republican Joe Kent, whom she narrowly defeated two years ago. The Cook Political Report has classified the race as a mistake.
Local officials have yet to deal with the political fallout from the explosion, but are encouraging first-time voters in the county to make sure their ballot is not among the ballots destroyed.
“It appears that there was a device attached to the outside of the ballot box that caused the ballots to be ignited,” Clark County Auditor Greg Kimsey said said Oregon Live.
“Anyone who cast a ballot after 11 a.m. Saturday morning should contact us immediately,” he said. “Our team will replace his ballot.”
While firefighters dealt with the situation in Vancouver, another ballot box was located across the Columbia River in Portland, Oregon set on fire.
According to the Portland Police Bureau (PPB), officers responded around 3:30 a.m. to reports of a burning ballot box near the corner of SE Morrison St. and SE 10th Ave. When they arrived, security personnel in the area had already extinguished the fire.
Portland, of course, is overrun by radical leftists who have made the once-beautiful city the poster child for everything that’s wrong with Democratic Party policies. It’s not a stretch to say that leftists are afraid that Donald Trump and the Republicans will take back the White House and are acting accordingly. On the left, action means violence.
Information about ballot box tampering emerges, and a conservative figure learns that a thermite compound was used in the Vancouver incident.
Other breaking news: The devices found in ballot boxes in Portland, Oregon and Vancouver, Washington were well made from thermite and are designed to burn the ballots, not explode. I hope to provide more information on this soon.

It is also being reported that local law enforcement has confirmed that the two incidents are related and that a “suspicious vehicle” has been identified. And Monday’s incidents appear to be related to an earlier mailbox explosion that occurred in Vancouver in early October.
Police said Monday that a “suspicious vehicle” has been identified in connection with incendiary devices that set fire to ballot drop boxes in Oregon and Washington state.
Surveillance images showed a Volvo stopped at a mailbox in Portland, Oregon, shortly before security guards nearby discovered a fire in the mailbox on Monday, Portland Police Bureau spokesman Mike Benner said at a news conference.
All of this comes as Republicans make a concerted effort to encourage their voters to participate in early voting. This makes ballot box tampering very tempting for fraudsters looking to disrupt the voting process. Just last week, a Democratic Senate Campaign Committee employee working in Montana was fired for shaking a dropped ballot box while allegedly checking to see if it was properly secured.
Local official Greg Kimsey, auditor of Clark County, Washington, summarized criticized the election manipulation in his state with the words: “Heartbreaking. It is a direct attack on democracy.”
