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.
It’s not really orwellian.
It’s Oregon, the number of methed up rednecks without shit to do is unimaginable.
Orwellian would be if it were planned, this is just old-fashioned redneck stupidity.
I know, I just hate that this is my headspace regarding what are supposed to be free and democratic elections. It’s an existential kind of dread, and it fucking sucks
Lol, free and fair elections.
Should try voting in the south while brown.
This is the America I knew growing up, it’s weird to see everyone else shocked by it.
Then again, I also feel like the filth leaked out and is trying to follow me :(
