The feral trumpers know they're losing so they resort to this ----------.

Some say they plan on violence whether they win or lose, so like last time they'll just claim they won.

Because their Big Daddy says it's OK, no, 'Patriotic' for them to act out.

Fair Play isn't in their Playbook anymore... 'Elections Don't Matter!' MAGA hats from China are in the next shipment.

MAGATS have been spreading a meme encouraging others to set them on fire. People who share that should be prosecuted.

#5 | Posted by johnny_hotsauce at 2024-10-28 05:17 PM

I suspect the person or persons who started this fire is opposed to early voting. I suspect too that the person knows that women have been leading the way in high early turnout - especially in heavily Democratic areas - which doesn't bode well for their guy.

Surely the opponents of democracy don't think stunts like this are going to stop their train from wrecking.

@BoAz and BlueWaffles.

As noted in the headline: this is a tight race in the district. It is Republican leaning and the incumbent Dem won by 3,000 votes last go-round, so it should be fairly obvious to anyone who is not reality-challenged that there are plenty of Repubs in the vicinity.

So who do you think burning ballots hurts in such a race. I'll give you a hint:

BREAKING: The Republican responsible for setting fire to Arizona ballot drop boxes has been caught.

He's the one behind burning ballots, trying to sabotage the voting process.

Looks like his little plan backfired, and now he's going to face the consequences.

#25 | Posted by Hans at 2024-10-29 02:47 PM

If there is political or property crime or political violence in urban Washington or Oregon it is not committed by conservatives ever. That is said with likely 99% certainty and accuracy. Those areas are now filled with leftist ANTIFA lowlife haters who exalt in harming others now just as they did in Summer of Rage. Democrat leaders keep them on the streets as their little pet perps of rage against citizens. They should be incarcerated and kept far away from all of society. Such ballot boxes need to be manned and with surveillance.

To Boaz and the local DR Russian bots...Pacific Northwest is mostly low population and conservative with clusters around the few major cities, say Portland, where the majority of the population lives. Those areas are mostly liberal.

When I lived in Portland, conservative POSs would come into town to start trouble and film their bad behavior as if they didn't start the fights or instigate things. Basically criminals and thugs as is usual for MAGA.

Even in the bluest of places, about 20 percent are still Republicans. And visa-versa. Where I live, about 3 out of 10 of us generally will not vote for Republicans.

No place is completely blue or red. The entire country is shades of purple.

But, reading boaz's comments about Ashville, in his own state ... ("nothing but a bunch of libs, so let 'em starve"), then it is clear that boaz, like the vetters for Sunday's "jokes" at MSG, have their thoughts approved and ordained by Jesus Christ, their savior.

Ballot Box Fires Across US Spark Alarm: 'Domestic Terrorism'
www.newsweek.com

... lected officials and commentators are labeling Monday's ballot box arsons in Washington and Oregon as acts of "domestic terrorism."

Washington's Secretary of State Steve Hobbs denounced the attacks as acts of "terror" aimed at destabilizing the democratic process.

The fires erupted early Monday morning, one in a ballot box in Portland, Oregon, where a fire suppression system protected most of the ballots, and another in Vancouver, Washington, where hundreds of ballots were destroyed after a similar device was used, but the suppression system failed.

"We take the safety of our election workers seriously and will not tolerate threats or acts of violence that seek to undermine the democratic process," Hobbs said in an official statement, assuring the public of his "complete confidence" in election security.

Hobbs later posted on X, stressing that "those responsible for this terrorist act knew the damage they would cause," and encouraging voters to exercise their right to vote as a show of resilience. ...


#33 | Posted by LampLighter at 2024-10-29 05:55 PM

@#33 ... [another fire] in a ballot box in Portland, Oregon, where a fire suppression system protected most of the ballots ...

Amazing that someone thought of the need to place a fire-suppression system in a ballot box.

And sad that the need turned out to be valid.


#34 | Posted by LampLighter at 2024-10-29 06:03 PM

@#29, 32 ... Even in the bluest of places, about 20 percent are still Republicans. ..

Ashville, NC
en.wikipedia.org

... In the 2012 presidential election, Barack Obama won the entirety of Buncombe County with 55% of the vote. Obama visited the city on a few occasions.[139] In April 2010, he and his family vacationed in the city.[140]

In the United States presidential election of 2016, Hillary Clinton won 54% of the vote in Buncombe County and Donald Trump 40%, according to the North Carolina State Board of Elections. In 2020, Joe Biden won 59.74% of the vote in Buncombe County and Donald Trump 38.63%. ...


So... about 40% Republican?

The giant trucks hauling lumber out of the forests that kept trying to run me over down the highways definitely were not libs either.

Investigators in Oregon searching for the person responsible for three fires at ballot drop boxes in the past few weeks " which damaged hundreds of ballots " believe "it is very possible the suspect intends to continue the attacks," a police spokesperson said Wednesday. Portland Police Bureau spokesperson Mike Benner described the suspect as a White man between 30 and 40 years old, who is balding or has very short hair. The man has a medium to thin build, he said.
