Authorities are actively searching for a suspect linked to a series of arson attacks targeting ballot drop boxes in Oregon and Washington, resulting in the destruction of hundreds of ballots. Police describe the arsonist as a white male aged between 30 and 40, believed to have significant experience in welding and metal fabrication. The incidents have heightened fears that election-related conspiracy theories may be inciting violence against voting infrastructure. Despite the attacks, officials reassure the public about the security of mail-in voting, while an FBI investigation is underway to address the crisis. Reports indicate that pro-Palestinian messages were found at the scenes, and a significant number of damaged ballots have been identified, raising questions about the impact on upcoming elections.
