Clark County Auditor Greg Kimsey responded to the incident, announcing an immediate change in ballot retrieval practices to prevent future risks.
“We’re going to change our retrieval process so ballots are collected in the evening,” Kimsey stated, explaining that this will reduce the number of ballots left in boxes overnight.
This incident wasn’t isolated.

A similar fire had been reported earlier in Portland, Oregon, involving another ballot box.
Around 3:30 a.m., an incendiary device reportedly sparked a fire in a ballot box on the 1000 block of Southeast Morrison Street, Portland.

Security staff managed to contain the fire before firefighters arrived. Investigators found evidence of an incendiary device, though Portland Police are still examining the circumstances and have not yet commented on the status of ballots affected.
Detective Meredith Hopper with the Portland Police Department has requested anyone with information on the fire contact her or reach out to the PF&R Fire Investigation Unit’s tip line, referencing case number 24-276181.
Last Friday, Trump warned on his social media platform Truth Social that his team would monitor the upcoming 2024 election closely, vowing legal action against any instances of election misconduct.
Trump posted, “I, together with many Attorneys and Legal Scholars, am watching the Sanctity of the 2024 Presidential Election very closely… when I win, those that CHEATED will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Law.”
Local officials in Washington and Oregon are urging caution and vigilance around ballot boxes while investigations continue. No injuries were reported in either incident, and officials are taking precautions to ensure that ballot security remains intact in the lead-up to the 2024 election.

Personally I think it’s stupid to be dropping off ballots to begin with. If someone needs an absentee ballot I can see that but it should be filled out by the voter and mailed in at least 7 to 10 days prior to the election date if not the ballot should be void. This is nothing but a scheme by the crooked democrats to steal the election as they did the last one.
There are surveillance cameras focused on these boxes…right? Should make investigating more simple.
They must think the only Ballots in the box were Trumps This is one of the reason in person voting on election day should be the only way to vote All the excuses are just that, excuses.. I was born in 1948 and I remember my mom and dad taking me with them when they went to vote. Then my dad would take us home and go to work.. I now live in the Philippines and on election day everything is closed and every one votes in person. It is a paid holiday for workers. I the US Christmas is a paid holiday and if Christmas falls on a Sunday Monday is the paid holiday. Is Christmas more important than voting for the survival of our country? Election Day should be a national Holiday. There should be no voting by mail except by overseas military personnel or corporate employees working in overseas branches
Looks like the socialist democrats are trying to steal the election again. Will probably happen in the people’s republik of Kalifornia.😡
