An Oregon elections office was vandalized and heavily damaged just hours before the second inauguration of President Trump.

Portland police confirmed to Fox News Digital that two dozen windows and two doors were smashed by rocks at the Multnomah County Elections office in southeast Portland in the early hours on Monday.

A spokesperson for the department said an alarm alerted officers to the incident, adding that officers found that the building had been tagged with graffiti. 

“We believe 8-10 people were involved,” the officer stated. “In addition, there was some anti-government/anti-establishment graffiti on the building.”

This is not the first political violence incident to happen in Oregon.

During the 2024 presidential election, an unknown suspect was caught on surveillance video setting a ballot drop box on fire with an incendiary device in Portland, one of several incidents that happened in Oregon and Washington state.

Clark County Auditor Greg Kimsey called the incident “a direct attack on democracy” as it occurred just days before Election Day.

The first ballot box fire happened on Oct. 8 between 3:30 a.m. and 4 a.m. in Vancouver, Washington, the FBI said. No ballots were damaged in that incident.

Two more incidents happened on Oct. 28 between 2 a.m. and 4 a.m. in Vancouver and Portland. Hundreds of ballots were destroyed in the Vancouver drop box, while officials said three were damaged in Portland.

All three incidents involved improvised incendiary devices placed on the outside of the boxes. Investigators recovered enough material from the devices to link all three fires.

Authorities are offering a reward of up to $25,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the suspect.
