No damage estimates were available Sunday, and authorities did not identify any suspects.A blaze ignited when someone threw a\u00a0bottle filled with flammable liquid\u00a0through the office\u2019s front window, burning furniture, blackening the walls and melting campaign signs before going\u00a0out on its own,\u00a0authorities said. On the side of the building next door, someone\u00a0scrawled\u00a0a swastika and wrote \u201cNazi Republicans leave town or else\u201d in black spray-paint.<\/p>\n<p>The state party tweeted out
