Incendiary devices have been set off at two ballot drop boxes — one in Portland, Oregon, and another in nearby Vancouver, Washington — in what one official called a “direct attack on democracy."

I'm not defending this type of behavior but come on, why the fuck can't they just go through the post, this is just asking for people to fuck with it.

You can do either. They’ve both been doing all mail in voting for twenty something years now with no issues. A USPS postal box was also recently burned with a few ballots in it in Arizona.

The problem is not with the drop sites but with the growing stochastic terrorism in this country.
