Ballots damaged in USPS mailbox fire in Phoenix

In Phoenix, Arizona, a blue U.S. Postal Service mailbox was set on fire in the early hours of Thursday morning, damaging several ballots and other mail. Approximately 20 ballots were affected, but the exact number is still being determined. Authorities are investigating the incident, and surveillance footage has been collected. The motive is unknown.
