(Portland, OR) — New details are coming to light regarding the arsons that damaged hundreds of ballots at three dropboxes in Washington state and Oregon this week. The New York Times is reporting the incendiary devices used to attack the ballot boxes on Monday all had the phrases, “Free Gaza” or “Free Palestine” written on them.
It remains unclear whether the devices were planted by an actual pro-Palestinian activist or if the suspect used the phrasing to try to play on existing divisions in the U.S. Police say one ballot box in Portland and two in the Vancouver, Washington area were targeted. No arrests have been made yet.
