This is the most important election of our lives. Not important enough to hire, like, one person to watch the boxes to make sure they aren’t set on fire though.

Below that is an image. It is a rainy evening. In the back ground police emergency tape sections off the area. In the foreground a person is wreathed in smoke as they reach for a pile of burning material that has been pulled from an open ballot drop box. The drop box has “Official Ballot Drop Box” written on that and below that a large “VOTE” decal next to an american flag. Standing behind the smoke clouded person are two first responders. One holds a camera.

    Sweet for them but Vancouver (WA) is a shell of a town as a result because they spend all their time & money in Portland.

    I blame Washington though for having some of the most regressive tax laws in the country.
