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.

    See that’s setting an example, which Inverse Parallax specifically said they were done with. Do you see my problem here?

      You know what image that kind of language invokes. It’s also not germane to the issue either way, because I’m not talking about politically persecuting people, I’m talking about judicial expediency dealing with people who are committing actual crimes and using their political views as justification for it.
