Arizona law enforcement officials are conducting an arson investigation after election ballots were damaged when a USPS mail collection box was burned in Maricopa County, a Democratic stronghold.
ABC 15 reported that crews responded to the USPS Osborn Station around 1:30 a.m. on Thursday and found a mail collection box on fire.
“Approximately 20 electoral ballots were damaged, along with additional miscellaneous mail,” Phoenix Fire Department officials revealed, according to ABC 15.
Or, a guy with an criminal record already, with an existing warrant out, just committed another criminal offense unrelated to the explicit 4 weeks we happen to be in where there are ballots in the mix.
Occam’s Razor. The simplest answer is usually the correct one.
If he was targeting ballots, there’s a lot of better places to do it than one random mail dropbox. He wasn’t even found in the act, they found him after the fact from surveillance, he probably would have destroyed more boxes if he had a more complicated reason.
