– Boston police have arrested a 39-year-old man accused of dousing a ballot box with gasoline and setting it on fire in front of the Boston Public Library early Sunday. Worldy Armand was arrested late Sunday on an outstanding warrant for receiving stolen property, Reuters reports. He was charged early Monday with willful and malicious burning. There were 122 ballots inside the box when it was emptied, and 35 were damaged. Boston Mayor Marty Walsh called the incident a “disgrace to democracy, a disrespect to the voters fulfilling their civic duty, and a crime.” Voters whose ballots were affected can vote in person or via a replacement ballot that will be mailed to them.
