The FBI is offering a reward of up to $25,000 for information leading to the arrest of a suspect believed to be responsible for setting fire to several ballot boxes in the Pacific Northwest during early voting last month. The incidents occurred in Vancouver, Washington, and Portland, Oregon, where most people vote by mail or ballot drop-off.
The first fire was reported on October 8 in Vancouver, followed by two more incidents on October 28 in Vancouver and Portland. Surveillance video released by the FBI shows an individual driving up to a Portland ballot box, lighting an item, and placing it on the box before driving away. Authorities believe the same suspect is responsible for all three fires.
