00:00In the United States, several ballot boxes with hundreds of early voting ballots were
00:05burned in two states just days before the presidential election on November 5th.
00:10Police in the states of Oregon and Washington reported that they are investigating the burning
00:15of several ballot boxes as the early voting process in the country continues.
00:20Authorities detailed that the fires in both states were found to have been set by an incendiary
00:26device and explained that they recovered enough material from the devices to prove
00:31that the two incidents are related to each other.
00:35It is important to note that the ballot boxes were equipped with working fire suppression
00:41systems at the polling place in the city of Portland.
00:44However, for unknown reasons, they were not activated to prevent the ballot's destruction
00:50at the Vancouver polling station.
