VANCOUVER, Wash. — KATU was on the scene at Fisher's Landing Transit Center in Vancouver early Monday morning, where heavy smoke was seen coming from inside a dropoff ballot box.
Our photographer captured grey smoke steadily billowing out of the Park and Ride ballot box at Fisher's Landing Transit Center near Southeast 162nd Avenue just after 6 a.m.
Multiple police units were in the area, and the ballot box was cordoned off by police tape as it continued to smoke.
Around 6:30 a.m., KATU captured footage of first responders releasing a pile of actively burning ballots onto the ground, which continued to smolder and smoke heavily even after the flames were put out.

Yesterday I wrote about ballot boxes that were set on fire in Portland, Oregon and Vancouver, Washington. As suspected, police have since confirmed those attacks were related. The released an image of the suspect's car.

Domestic violent extremists doesn't really narrow things down very much. The big question that remain unanswered is who did this and with what motivation. Today the NY Times repots on an update which may resolve that question.
Investigators responding to arson fires at two ballot boxes in the Pacific Northwest this week found devices at both scenes marked with the words “Free Gaza,” according to two law enforcement officials.
Investigators are trying to determine if the perpetrator was actually a pro-Palestinian activist or someone using that prominent cause to sow discord, one of the officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the investigation was ongoing. But the message has added a heightened layer of political sensitivity to a closely watched investigation in the final days of a tense presidential election...
What are the odds that local Dem Congress-Critters have been protested by Pro-Hamas activists?
