Washington State hired a private security company to watch the ballot boxes. Make sure no one tries to break in or torch them. Make sure no one is causing trouble. And by watch, that means sit in the car and keep an eye on it.

Newport (Oregon) News TimesCounty clerk’s office receiving heavy returnsAccording to Jenkins, since ballots were mailed to county residents Oct. 14, the only major issue voters have faced while returning ballots was a briefly overstuffed intake slot in the drop box at Newport City Hall. Jenkins said Tuesday morning that reports that surfaced during the weekend on social media stating the box was overflowing because it was completely filled were false.“That box at Newport City Hall was not actually overfilled,” Jenkins said. “In fact, it was jammed up with ballots right there in the opening slot. Once we heard about the situation, the city manager went down there and opened it up and that freed things up.”
