The FBI is set to hold a news conference Thursday on the three ballot drop box fires seen in Oregon and Washington state during the 2024 election that officials decried as an attack on democracy.
On Oct. 28, about a week before Election Day, a ballot box in Portland, Oregon, and one in neighboring Vancouver, Washington state, were set on fire. The drop box fire in Vancouver — which was home to one of the most competitive U.S. House races in the country — damaged hundreds of ballots.
