Feds Investigate Torched Ballot Boxes!

Is someone trying to torch the ballots before they get counted?

The U.S. Department of Justice will get to the bottom of this. On top of that it assures the FBI, ATF and U.S. Postal Inspectors will be investigating this.

The suspects involved will be criminally charged. The suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Someone in the Northwest is burning ballot boxes where provisional ballots are deposited. This is not only a state crime but a federal tampering issue.

A blue U.S. Postal Service mailbox in Phoenix was set on fire overnight, damaging several ballots and other pieces of mail, authorities said.

Local law enforcement officials arrested a 35-year-old man in connection to the incident, which occurred at about 1:20 a.m. local time Thursday. The suspect, identified as Dieter B. Klofkorn, admitted committing arson but said it was not related to election, police said at a news conference.

Ballot drop boxes in Portland, Oregon, and neighboring Vancouver, Washington, were set on fire Monday morning in what authorities believe are connected incidents about a week out from Election Day.

This is the Facebook profile of the Arizona man who set a U.S. mail box on fire. Dieter Klofkorn even admits he uses methamphetamine (Ice) and he is not a Nazi as he claimed.

An identical Volvo was spotted at both scenes, and the use of an "incendiary device" in Portland was "similar in nature" to what occurred in Vancouver, the cities' police departments said. Portland police described the act as targeted and intentional.

Three ballots were damaged in Portland, while potentially “hundreds” were affected in Vancouver, local officials said.

The Portland Police Bureau said an "incendiary device" was placed inside a sidewalk ballot box in the Central City district. By the time officers responded to reports about 3:30 a.m., security personnel in the area had extinguished the flames.

"Officers determined an incendiary device was placed inside the ballot box and used to ignite the fire," Portland police said in a statement, adding that the bureau's Explosive Disposal Unit removed the mechanism.

Portland police were continuing to investigate. The Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office said it would step up patrols around ballot drop boxes in the county.
