WA deploys National Guard at ballot boxes for election security
Several Washington counties have accepted Gov. Bob Ferguson's offer of deploying National Guard members at ballot boxes to ensure election security. Washington's National Guard troops will be stationed at ballot drop boxes and voting centers across the state during the midterms. Washington Governor Bob Ferguson has offered voluntary assistance from the National Guard to secure voting infrastructure and ensure election security. The decision was made after several letters containing white powder were mailed to multiple sites, including the Washington Secretary of State's office, Rep. Pramila Jayapal's office and Rep. Adam Smith's office. Several county election offices have accepted the offer, including Clark, King, Pierce, Thurston, and Snohomish counties. The National Guard will remain unarmed while observing ballot drop box and other high-traffic areas.
