Los Angeles County election officials announce probes into potential voter interference after ballots are found burned in a drop box and a voting center is vandalized ahead of the California primary. According to ABC News and The Hill, officials notify police after a staffer with the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk’s office observes fire-related damage inside a ballot drop box located outside a county department facility. Both reports say the incident involves mail-in ballots that are damaged by fire and that additional vandalism is reported at a voting center. In response, election officials issue warnings to the public against interfering with the election process. The allegations come just days before voters cast ballots in the primary, increasing scrutiny of any conduct that could affect ballot collection or access. Authorities do not describe the perpetrators in the available accounts, but they treat the incidents as possible election interference and pursue further investigation through law enforcement.
