Cause of fire destroying voting machines still a mystery | Houston & Texas News | Chron.com - Houston Chronicle

Cause of fire destroying voting machines still a mystery | Houston & Texas News | Chron.com - Houston Chronicle: "A day after a fire destroyed virtually all of Harris County's electronic voting gear, officials were still determining the cause of the warehouse blaze and furiously exploring ways to accommodate voters come early November.

Houston's fire marshal's office hasn't made a ruling on whether Friday's early-morning fire was accidental or deliberately set, said Harris County Clerk Beverly Kaufman, who hopes to hear something on the cause early this week.

'It would break my heart to think someone would do something like this to the election process,' she said, adding that she was unaware of anyone who might have had a motive to burn down the building.

Houston Fire Department officials did not return phone calls on Saturday."
