Thugs Hijack Ballot Boxes, Set Them Ablaze In U.S. Elections by EcoBrick: 7:36pm On Oct 30, 2020
Officials said dozens of ballot boxes were damaged by the thugs across major cities of Boston and Los Angeles.

NIMI PRINCEWILL • OCTOBER 29, 2020

Ahead of the U.S presidential election scheduled for Tuesday, November 3, a Boston resident Worldy Armand was arrested Sunday evening for incinerating a ballot box.

Officials said 35 out of 122 ballots inside the box were damaged in the inferno — with 87 still readable, McClatchy reported.

Sunday’s incident at Copley Square, Boston — the capital and most populous city of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts comes exactly a week after a similar arson at the Baldwin Park Library in Los Angeles, the newspaper group said.

About 200 ballots were said to have been destroyed in the LA inferno.

Reacting to the latest incident, Boston Mayor Marty Walsh described Mr. Armand’s action as a “disgrace to democracy, a disrespect to the voters fulfilling their civic duty.”

McClatchy cited prosecutors as confirming that a 39-year-old suspect has since been charged with “willful and malicious burning.”

“No matter the intent of Armand when he set fire to these ballots, his actions strike a nerve in our society at a time of nearly unprecedented political divisiveness”, a statement by Suffolk District Attorney Rachael Rollins said.

It was unclear whether the suspects have reached their legal representatives. Authorities said affected voters will be given an opportunity to replace their ballot or vote in person on election day.

Reports said early ballots in the election have already surpassed 66 million voter turnout, an all-time high in U.S election history.

Incumbent Donald Trump of the Republican party hopes to be reelected, as Democrat former Vice President Joe Biden seeks his ouster.

Republicans are scared shit that they are losing this one to the Democrats. The typical Trump will go to Twitter to praise the arsonist for trying to keep America great like they lie all the time. The record shattering turnout already shows where the pendulum is swinging to.

The hypocrite US will still want to condemn and sanction others for electoral irregularities when rigging and violence is entrenched in their elections. A country where majority votes of the people does not elect a president think it is better than communist China.

Africans are exporting their political culture and technology to USA.

It's normal. The Somalian Lady and Democrats are buying votes from the elderlies through deceits.
