About a half an hour before the incident in Vancouver, the Portland Police Bureau responded to another ballot box fire. Security officers in the area put out the flames.
Officers say an incendiary device was placed inside the box, starting the fire. A fire suppressant that was also inside the box protected most of the ballots, except three that were damaged.
Investigators announced they believe the incidents and one other incident earlier this month in Vancouver are connected.
Last week, several ballots were damaged in Phoenix after a U.S. Postal Service mailbox was lit on fire. Police arrested a suspect in connection with that incident.
