E******n Chaos: V**es Erased in Seconds as Flames Erupt from B****t Box
Democrats and their allies in the establishment media have been pushing hard for mail-in b****ting for the 2020 p**********l e******n.
Despite the high potential for fraud, the ineptitude of the U.S. Postal Service and the difficulty some v**ers have with properly filling out and sending back their b****ts, many states have done away with restrictions on who can cast absentee b****ts, and several states are mailing b****ts to every registered v**er.
Amid the whole convoluted setup comes an incident out of Baldwin Park, California, where firefighters say someone intentionally chucked a burning newspaper into a b****t drop box, potentially destroying dozens of b****ts inside, KABC-TV reported.
KCBS-TV said authorities including the FBI are investigating the matter as a suspected arson, and no perpetrators had been identified.
suspected arson?????????According to both Los Angeles news outlets, at about 8 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 18, officials said someone set on fire the b****ts that were placed inside a designated metal box in front of the Baldwin Park public library.
Witnesses told KABC the drop box was like a chimney with smoke pouring out of it as the blaze burned inside. Firefighters were forced to pour water on the fire, leaving citizens’ b****ts damaged by water and fire.
“People are frustrated across the country; it’s no different in Baldwin Park,” the city’s mayor, Manuel Lozano, told KABC. “The incident that happened … does send a very bad message, as it is, the frustration with the v****g box, and then this occurs.”
Arson investigators have not revealed how many b****ts were destroyed. Initial estimates pegged the number of b****ts involved in the incident at 60 to 100, but the figure now is over 200, officials said, according to KCBS. The Los Angeles Times reported at least 20 residents had “reached out to arrange for a replacement b****t.”
George Silva, a resident of Baldwin Park, shared footage of firefighters cutting into the box to extinguish the blaze with water from a fire hose.
“Everything’s destroyed?” Silva asked a firefighter.
“We’re going to save as many b****ts as we can,” an unidentified firefighter assured him as another first responder placed stacks of wet b****ts on the sidewalk.
Los Angeles County Supervisor Hilda Solis told KCBS the incident “has all the signs of an attempt to disenfranchise v**ers and call into question the security of our e******ns.”
“It’s unbelievable to me that during this very important e******n cycle that someone would stoop that low to target an official drop box where people have been placing their b****ts and set it to fire,” L.A. County Supervisor Janice Hahn said, although she assured the news outlet that the c*********d b****ts have been accounted for and those v**ers already contacted to fill out new ones.
“It’s my understanding that it was malicious; it wasn’t just a kid maybe throwing a match in a box,” Hahn said.
“It was some serious vandalism cutting the box; they were determined to really destroy b****ts.”
The left has been hammering the idea that mail-in b****ting is necessary and safe during C****-**, but this situation shows just a tiny fraction of the potential hazards it presents across the nation.
This box was in a public place, but it doesn’t appear there were any security measures in place, including a surveillance camera that would have captured footage of an arsonist.
If a bit of burning newspaper could potentially destroy 200 v**es, what could a coordinated effort from either campaign do with money and resources?
For all of the obvious problems v**e-by-mail and other b****ting methods present, the left should be advocating for in-person v****g if they care about the validity of e******n results — unless the ensuing chaos is part of their plan.
V****g in person on E******n Day on Nov. 3 is the best way to ensure v**es are properly cast and counted. If Democrats really care about v**er disenfranchisement, they should be pushing for in-person b****ting.
