Arson attacks on ballot boxes in US spark election security concerns
In New York, the officials of the Board of Elections say a «stolen election» isn't possible and elaborate measures have been put in place to counter any subversive attempts.
«A multi-jurisdictional national, state and city wide security plan is in place for NYC. Some of these you see, some you don't. All the ballots are secured by the NYPD and we work closely with them. A stolen election in NYC is not possible. We are always trying to stay ahead of the bad guys for sure,» says Vincent Ignizio, Deputy Executive Director Board of Elections in New York.
Ballot drop boxes have become an increasingly important part of the voting process in many states. As many as 27 states and the District of Columbia allow the use of ballot drop boxes. They are particularly crucial in states like Oregon and Washington, where voting predominantly occurs via mail or ballot drop-off.
In Clark County, Washington, about 60% of ballots are submitted through drop boxes. The security of ballot drop boxes has become a significant focus in US presidential elections, with various measures implemented to ensure their integrity and protect against potential threats.
