Portland Elections Office Targeted in Coordinated Vandalism Attack

Hooded individuals shattered windows and defaced the building with anti-government graffiti; police are investigating but have made no arrests.

A group of 8-10 masked individuals vandalized the Multnomah County Elections building in Portland early Monday morning.
The attackers smashed dozens of windows and spray-painted anti-government messages on the building before fleeing the scene in under two minutes.
Police have released surveillance footage of the suspects and are urging the public to provide information to aid the investigation.
Officials stated there is no evidence linking the attack to President Trump's second inauguration, which occurred later the same day.
This incident follows previous politically motivated attacks on ballot boxes in Oregon and Washington during the 2024 election cycle.
