A man was charged with setting a Boston ballot drop box on fire and
damaging dozens of ballots, police said Monday.

Worldy Armand, a 39-year-old Boston resident, was taken into custody late
Sunday, hours after he started a fire inside a drop box outside the Boston
Public Library in the city's Back Bay neighborhood, authorities said. The
box contained more than 120 ballots.

Armand faces a charge of willful and malicious burning, police said. It
was not immediately clear whether he has an attorney to speak for him.

The FBI had said Sunday it is investigating. Federal authorities urged
members of the public to "remain vigilant and immediately report any
suspicious, election-related activity."

The top prosecutor for Boston, Suffolk County District Attorney Rachael
Rollins, told reporters Armand appears to be "emotionally disturbed" and
she does not believe he is "plotting against our democracy."

Massachusetts' elections chief said he has directed local officials to
boost security at drop boxes with guards and video surveillance, and to
empty the boxes frequently. Secretary of the Commonwealth William Galvin
said in an interview Monday he is also advising communities to lock their
ballot drop boxes on Saturday night, which is Halloween.

"We're concerned that for that period of time, especially after dark, that
they could be the object of pranksters or other individuals," Galvin said.

Armand was arrested after drug control unit officers on patrol saw a man
who matched the description of the suspect authorities were looking for in
the ballot box fire, police said. Police said he also had an active
warrant for receiving stolen property.

It is the second fire reported at a ballot box in the U.S. this month. A
fire inside an official Los Angeles County ballot drop box is also being
investigated as arson, authorities said last week.

An FBI Boston spokesperson declined to comment on whether authorities
believe the two fires are connected.

Officers called to the scene in Boston saw smoke coming out of the box
before firefighters managed to extinguish the fire by filling the box with
water, police said.

There were 122 ballots inside the box when it was emptied Sunday morning,
and 87 of them were still legible and able to be processed, election
officials said. Galvin said most of the 35 damaged ballots were largely
intact and should be readable. Five to 10 of them are too damaged to be
counted, he said.

Voters can go online to see whether their ballot was processed. Those who
used that drop box between Saturday afternoon and 4 a.m. Sunday and can't
confirm the status of their ballot online should contact the Boston
Elections Department immediately, officials said.

Voters whose ballots were affected can either vote in person or by a
replacement ballot that will be mailed to them, officials said. If those
voters don't submit a new ballot, "their original ballot will be hand-
counted to the extent possible," election officials said.

Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster

President Trump has boosted the economy, reduced illegal immigration,
