   A fire that broke out at the Maricopa County Democratic Party headquarters   
   in Phoenix, Arizona, early Friday morning is suspected to be arson,   
   according to investigators.   
      
   Firefighters extinguished the fire at the headquarters at around 1 a.m.   
   local time. No injuries were reported. Investigators have since combed   
   through evidence, including a large amount of video surveillance footage,   
   Phoenix Fire Department officials said during a press conference.   
      
   Fire department officials said the investigation was still ongoing, but   
   that they eliminated the possibility that it was an accident.   
      
   "Our computers, our phones, our tablets, our printers, everything to get   
   out the vote was destroyed in the fire last night," Steven Slugocki, the   
   chairman of the county's Democratic Party, said to Insider. "Someone   
   through a [projectile] threw it through our window and it destroyed our   
   building."   
      
   Slugocki, citing people who reviewed the video evidence, said a person got   
   our of their car, threw a projectile at the building, and drove away.   
   Minutes later, the fire swept through the building.   
      
   "We're pretty upset. It's a devastating loss for us," Slugocki said,   
   adding that the Democratic Party was "going harder than ever before."   
      
   "It's more important than ever that we do the work that we were elected to   
   do, and that's to win elections this November," he said.   
      
      
      
   Former Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Indiana, who once worked at the   
   location, expressed his condolences.   
      
   "Very sorry to see this - my desk used to be right through that door, back   
   in 2004," Buttigieg said in a tweet. "Glad no one was hurt, and I know we   
   can count on supporters to make sure AZ/Maricopa Dems are back up and   
   running quickly as you continue to Turn Arizona Blue."   
      
   Arizona Democratic Party communications director Matt Grodsky said the   
   damage would not have a large impact on the upcoming election due to its   
   staff, who have been working remotely, according to KTAR News.   
      
   The state's Republican Party in a statement commended the work of law   
   enforcement officials and said "violence of any kind is unacceptable."   
      
   "Any person committing an act of violence, especially politically   
   motivated violence, against any individual, party, or group in Arizona   
   must be held accountable and prosecuted to the maximum extent of our   
   laws," the statement said, adding that "ultimately we are all Americans   
   and must treat each other as such."
