Klamath Falls ballot drop box vandalized, ballots found in dumpster

Note: This thread isn't about Hillary vs Bernie or implying anything organized.


"KLAMATH FALLS, Ore.-- A Klamath Falls ballot box at the Klamath Basin Senior Center was broken into over the weekend and ballots were found in a nearby dumpster, according to a press release from the Klamath County Clerk.

The ballots will still be counted.

Voters concerned about their ballot can call 541-883-5134 to check their ballot's status. A replacement can be issued if it has not been received.

Tampering with ballots is a Class C felony. The press release says it appears to be an isolated incident."

Like I said from the start. This isn't about starting drama. Hopefully those affected will make the appropriate calls.
FYI this is in a supposedly Clinton stronghold so please don't make assumptions.

could be Clinton, Sanders, or even Trump.

or, more likely, random conservative trying to mess with Democrats.

where is the place one would look first to find stolen ballots...and what about the break-in itself? A Senior Center is not the first place thieves would look for valuable stuff.
