Juliette Kayyem on ballot box fire: Prosecutor should not allow bail. Big perp walk. This box is tied to swing district. [View all]

Juliette Kayyem
It is going to feel like wack-a-mole for the next 7 days. Officials are being transparent about last pickup and getting word out to those who may have dropped off since then; they will allow for new ballots (that's why they are signed on the envelope to identify) for those who suspect their ballots were burned. I'm pretty confident they will find this person (too many cameras, he left explosive device behind so that will be traced). Prosecutor should not allow bail. Big perp walk. This box is tied to swing district.
