Disturbing news has emerged from one of the most critical swing states in the country as over a dozen ballots were found torched after a mailbox was set ablaze.
Fox 10 Phoenix reported that just before 1:30 a.m. on Thursday, firefighting crews responded to a fire just outside a post office near 7th Avenue and Indian School Road in Phoenix, Arizona. After extinguishing the flames, they delivered roughly twenty electoral ballots, and other mail pieces were damaged in the blaze.
As the outlet notes, the collection box is on the property of a United States Postal Service office.
Authorities told FOX 10 Phoenix that an unidentified person started the fire at the drive-up box around 1:20 am local time, 10 minutes before the Phoenix Fire Department (PFD) was made aware of the incident.
Phoenix Fire Captain Rob McDade stated that the postal inspector collected the burned ballots and mail. He said the PFD’s Arson Investigation Taskforce has opened a criminal investigation with the Phoenix Police Department and U.S. Postal Service Inspectors also involved.
According to police, investigators obtained surveillance footage from the scene. It is not clear if and when the footage will be released to the public.
RINO Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer released the following statement after news of the incident became public:
We are waiting for details from law enforcement. We encourage all voters who used that mailbox in the last 36 hours to check the status of their ballots at https://BeBallotReady.Vote. Successful delivery is usually reflected on that website within 72 hours. Voters should be aware that tomorrow, October 25 is the last day to request a replacement ballot. If a voter believes they were impacted by this incident they can learn more about how to make that request at https://Request.Maricopa.Vote.
News of this arson comes just as President Trump has taken a small yet seemingly firm lead in Arizona over Kamala Harris. Moreover, Kari Lake is beginning to close the gap on her radical-left Democrat opponent Ruben Gallego despite no help from national Republicans.
More concerning for Democrats, Republicans are storming the polls in early voting across the Grand Canyon State while they are lagging. This has caused Democrats and their media allies to sound the alarm as the election appears to be slipping away.
While it’s unknown whether the person involved is affiliated with the Democrats, they are the ones panicking and throwing up desperate Hail Marys in hopes of swaying the public at the last minute. This includes dragging out a long-time Trump-hater to make up years-old sexual assault allegations against the 45th President and compare him to Adolf Hitler for the 1,000th time.
