CurrentReport Blog The US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) issued a warning on Election Day regarding bomb threats reported at polling stations in multiple states. While none of these threats have been deemed credible, many appear to trace back to Russian email domains, according to FBI spokesperson Savannah Syms. This advisory follows a brief disruption in voting in Georgia due to bomb threats, which were similarly attributed to Russian sources.
The FBI, recognizing the heightened volatility of the 2024 presidential race between Democrat Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump, has intensified Election Day security to unprecedented levels. A national election command post has been set up in Washington to monitor potential threats around the clock, and security has been increased at approximately 100,000 polling locations nationwide.
States including Oregon, Washington, and Nevada have activated the National Guard, with over 600 troops on standby across 17 states to ensure voter safety and maintain public confidence in election integrity.
