Burned ballots salvaged, police looking for suspectpublished at 05:23 Greenwich Mean Time
Officials in Clark Country, Washington, say they have been able to salvage hundreds of ballots that were damaged when an incendiary device was placed in a ballot box on Monday.
Election staff said they had saved 488 ballots that were burned in the incident, though others were destroyed.
"Elections personnel were unable to identify six of the ballots. Other ballots may have been completely burned to ash, and therefore, unidentifiable," the office of the Clark County Auditor said in a statement.
Another ballot box was set alight in Portland, Oregon. Both attacks are being investigated by the FBI and investigators are looking for a white male between 30 and 40 years old.
