Vandalism struck the Multnomah County elections office in Portland as officials discovered shattered glass and graffiti early this morning. Director of Multnomah County Elections, Tim Scott, disclosed that rocks were hurled through "most of the front windows in the front office of the Elections building and one window of the sorting room," according to KGW. An onslaught of approximately two dozen windows were smashed, augmenting tensions in the community.

The vandalism unfolded at the office on Southeast Morrison Street, awakening the building to the cacophony of broken promises as clear as shattered glass on the sidewalk. As the workers arrived, preparations began to replace the damaged panes. KPTV reported the additional graffiti damage on the building, which was an unwelcome addition to the destruction.

No individuals have been detained or identified in connection with the vandalism as Portland Police continue their investigation.
