Authorities described the suspect as a white man, age 30 to 40, who is balding or has very short hair.
He shouldn't be too hard to find

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

And how do the burned ballots get resolved?
That’s the point. It’s why the election is being attacked exactly the way it is. You can’t un-burn a ballot, you can’t un-certify an election. No matter how egregious and illegal the action, if it gets them across the finish line, it sticks.
Southwest Washington
The first thing for voters to do is check their ballot status online at votewa.gov.
If a returned ballot is not marked as "received," voters can print a replacement ballot or visit the elections department, located at 1408 Franklin Street in downtown Vancouver, for a replacement ballot, the secretary of state's office said.
Voters can also contact the elections division at 564-397-2345 or [email protected].
Multnomah County
The damage in the Portland box was limited to just three ballots. Any voters who dropped their ballot off at the Multnomah County box on Southeast Morrison Street between 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 26 and at 3 a.m. on Monday, Oct. 28 can call 503-988-6826.
The names of the voters on the three damaged ballot envelopes were still legible, according to a county elections official, and the elections office will reach out to those three voters to get them replacement ballots. All other ballots in the box will be processed normally.
Voters in Multnomah County can sign up for the county's Track Your Ballot service at multco.us/trackyourballot. Voters across Oregon can check their ballot status at My Vote Oregon.
That’s cool. I mean it’s all on paper anyway so I assumed they had some kind of contingency in place for the mail thing, with a system in already in place to only count 1 per, so this all makes sense. And sounds incredibly accessible and easy, in spite of the arson.
The incendiary devices were marked with the message “Free Gaza,”
A third device placed at a different drop box in Vancouver earlier this month also carried the words “Free Palestine” in addition to “Free Gaza,” the official said.
I entirely agree, but truly don't see how this helps.
It's false flag. Could have just as easily said "BLM" or "Pro Choice." They're just trying to point the finger at the left.
Gotta be. Fires were set in "safe blue" counties.
