USPS Mailbox Fire in Phoenix Leads to Damaged Ballots


A blue U.S. Postal Service mailbox in Phoenix, Arizona, was set on fire at 1:20 a.m. local time Thursday morning, damaging several ballots and other pieces of mail. A 35-year-old man was arrested in connection to the incident and admitted to committing arson, though he claimed it was not related to the upcoming election. Approximately 20 ballots were damaged, but many undamaged ballots were recovered and affected voters will be contacted. The Postal Inspector took possession of the damaged mail, and voters can check the status of their ballot on the BeBallotReady.Vote website. October 25 is the last day to request a replacement ballot for impacted voters. Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes commended the local fire and police departments, as well as the Arizona USPS for their response. Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer stated that counties across the state have equipped ballot drop boxes with security controls to prevent physical attacks. The mailbox was located at the Post Office at 3905 North 7th Avenue and has since been reopened. Voters who believe they were impacted by the incident can learn how to request a replacement ballot at Request.Maricopa.Vote.
