Oregon and Washington state ballot drop boxes were firebombed early Monday morning. According to ABC News, it is one of the threats the FBI warned about. It is currently under investigation.

Last month, the ABC 7 I-Team first reported on a federal intelligence warning. It stated that domestic violent extremists could target ballot boxes and other election equipment soft targets.

The I-Team obtained a copy of a new and wider warning released by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Intelligence and Analysis Monday morning. It centered on threat actors potentially leveraging claims of election fraud. The purpose would be to drive general election-related violence in the weeks to come.

The Bulletin

“Some individuals are calling for violence as a response to election fraud narratives, primarily targeting election officials and populations that threat actors perceive as threatening the integrity of the 2024 general election,” the federal bulletin reads. “Some individuals motivated by this narrative have stated their intent online to intimidate voters or elections staff through surveillance of election infrastructure or personnel, including by armed individuals.”

The threat assessment was echoed in a dire assessment by the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency’s Director Jen Easterly.

“Election officials are facing very real physical threats, threats of harassment, violence, swatting, bullying, threats to election officials of both parties and their families, largely stemming from unfounded claims that the 2020 election did not represent the will of the American people,” Easterly said.

“Definitely, misinformation is a part of that,” said cybersecurity professor Jason Perry, Ph.D., who teaches at Lewis University. “And the people who create and spread misinformation, they know exactly what kind of messages, not just words but video images, will trigger people who are, you know, potentially vulnerable to being pushed into violent action because of their beliefs and things that they that they believe.”

“We know that election officials have been preparing for this election for years,” Easterly said. “They’ve been doing training, exercising, and they are prepared and have contingency plans in place for the full range of disruptions.”

Opinion

Since this administration does not seem to be bothered by communist and anarchist rioters, it seems like the warning is aimed at so-called right-wing domestic terrorists. Some of the J6 rioters were labeled domestic terrorists, and they were just rioters.

And who is asking for election integrity? It’s not Democrats.

We also have a problem believing that the media ever reports independently of the Democrat Party.

None of the opinions mean the report isn’t true. We just don’t know.

The Sentinel never supports violence. Leave election officials and their families alone. Go vote.

With the distrust the FBI has earned due to their top leaders’ politicizing the agency, I would not be surprised if these fires were a part of an FBI operation to accuse conservatives for election interference.

If they didn’t have those shady drop boxes in the first place there would be no need to be concerned. What ever happened to going to the polls to vote? It’s all BS. Yet they have no concerns about Federal Judges blocking states from removing dead people, illegals, and people that move away from the voter rolls are threats to election integrity. What a sham.

We need the change laws to be able to use deadly force for intentional trespassing for the purpose of damaging property.

Funny how they are not worried that if Trump wins Antifa, BLM and various Kamala supporters will set cities on fire as they did back in 2020 ( about Saint-George Floyd )
