MILL CREEK — It happened again.

For the second time in two months, and third time in two years, the ballot box at the Mill Creek Post Office has been damaged in an apparent accident.

This time, it occurred in the middle of a busy presidential election season.

The Mill Creek ballot drop box is temporarily closed after the Friday incident, said Garth Fell, the Snohomish County Auditor whose office oversees elections. It also was was hit in September.

The box was struck by a truck, which dislodged it from its footings and bent the metal. All ballots remained safely inside the box and were not compromised, Fell said. The ballots have been removed by elections staff and will be processed.

I know where that box is and I've never had any trouble driving by it. It's the one I used to use before they put one closer to my home.

One wonders whether that was a commercial truck or a large pickup truck.

1. Did anyone witness the accident...?

In other words, can they confirm it was a genuine accident, and not some MAGAt intent on stopping “liberal Deep State vote fraud!!!”…?

2. I doubt it was an accident

I mail everything in the mail box next to the ballot box and unless you are trying to hit it, I can't see how it's an accident.
