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.

        I would bet up to $1k that this guy is Republican, but I don’t actually care what party they belong to. Make an example of them.

        When ya do sarcastic text, I recommend keeping all of your “i”s lowercase and all your “L”s capital.

        …though with autocorrect on a phone, doing so can be a huge pain in the butt, more effort than it’s worth.
