Hundreds of voters who returned their election ballots at a Vancouver, Wash., drop box over the weekend are urged to follow up with the Clark County Elections Office, following a Monday morning fire that likely damaged or destroyed hundreds of ballots in a suspected case of arson.
Washington State Democratic Party Chair Shasti Conrad posted a statement about the drop box arsons, urging voters to check the status of their ballot at VoteWA.gov, or by calling the Clark County Auditor's Office at 564-397-2345.
Jim Walsh, chair of the Washington State Republican Party, also urged voters to double-check with their county auditor, regardless of where in the state the ballot was mailed or left in a drop box, to ensure it will be counted on Nov 5.
A news release from the county said the following: “Today at about 3:30 a.m., security at the Multnomah County Elections Division alerted the Portland Police Bureau they had responded to a fire at a nearby Multnomah County ballot box in the 1000 block of S.E. Morrison Street.
