I'm like you, no expert on American elections, but as far as I know no evidence exists which necessitates a more in depth investigation than what's usual.

If you search there are loads of attempts by russians to influence the election but none seem to have been very successful. So there has certainly been attempts but there is nothing pointing to any influence great enough to sway the election in any way.

I assume you were referring to this article earlier: https://www.hs.fi/maailma/art-2000010793845.html

In the first incident only 3 ballots were damaged and in the later incident roughly 488 were damaged. https://apnews.com/article/ballot-drop-box-fires-portland-vancouver-60fea753ceb761624e6aba49f0e9dd99

The vast majority of the damaged ballots were able to be identified so replacement ballots could be sent. Only 6 were unidentifiable. A few more may have burned down completely and weren't even able to be unidentifiable.

It's honestly quite sad.

If you talk to enough people in America, you might change your opinion. I live in a blue area of a blue state and I see plenty of Trump support.
