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.

Text description of Image: Twitter post by Katu News: Watch: The moment responders remove HUNDREDS of burning ballots from a Vancouver ballot box this morning. Full story... (URL I can't read). Below that, subtweeted, by Evan Bell (@evanbellKATU) The clark county elections ballot drop box at the fisher's landing transit center was lit on fire this morning. Clark Co. Augitor Greg Kimsey says hundreds of ballots were insde at the time. The last pickiup being 11am Saturday. Full story here (incomplete URL) @katunews

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.

Nobody is going to employ someone to stand next to every ballot drop box, that's silly. This is extremely rare and also not worth trying to avoid.

Okay I'm yelling but I promise it's to make fun of how libs discuss this as a critical existential event but take no actual actions to secure victory, not even largely passive actions like just protecting ballots and ballot access.

spoilerBut THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION OF OUR LIVES! DEMOCRACY IS AT STAKE! WE HAVE TO STOP FASCISM! kril-scream
