Footage from CTRAN cameras shows smoke coming from the ballot box at Fisher's Landing Transit Center moments after someone stopped by. Less than 30 seconds after the car drives away, the ballot box explodes.

KATU obtained the video from the transit agency through a public records request on Monday.

The FBI's Portland office is leading the investigation. The agency put out a statement last week after the incident: “The U.S. Attorney's Office and the FBI want to assure our communities that we are working closely and expeditiously together to investigate the two incendiary fires at the ballot boxes in Vancouver, Washington, and the one in Portland, Oregon, and will work to hold whoever is responsible fully accountable."

Clark County Auditor Greg Kimsey told KATU last week that the explosion has not deterred voters from using ballot drop boxes.

He said after "the bombing of the Fisher's Landing ballot dropbox... voters started using the ballot dropbox at a higher rate personally than we saw in 2020."
