“Early this morning, law enforcement responded to threats that were received by email involving certain polling places in Bergen, Essex, Mercer, Middlesex, Monmouth, Ocean, and Passaic counties,” the state Office of the Attorney General said in a statement Tuesday.”
Really getting tired of this shit. This kind of thing never happened before MAGA that I remember. They’re terrified so they commit crimes.

Looks like the Russian bots and cyber centers are hard at work.

ICE is also active in areas with large populations of Latino voters. I’m aware of activity in Passaic and Union counties but I would not be surprised if they were all over Essex and Hudson counties, either.

MAGAts trying to close polling places in blue districts.

They shouldn’t be allowed to close polling sites. They know these are bullshit.
We should just have mandatory voting anyway, so all this nonsense is over with.

in probably Blue districts right?

The whole point is to allow Republican pundits and politicians, including Trump, to call into question results and try to block the winners from being seated. In other words, something they can point to so they can cry “fraud!”
I’d be interested to know how many ballots had to be provisional, which usually take longer to count, at least days after the election.

They try things in elections, if they don’t get enough pushback, the try becomes the play for the next election cycle.

Oh hey the same shit that stole the election for Trump

I can’t help but feel like this accidentally calls question into the legitimacy of the 2024 elections where the same things happened

Republicans do this because democrats won’t, and because there are no legal consequences. It will therefore continue to happen.

This is why we keep mail-in voting so that everyone stays safe and cannot easily temper with whatever is submitted. I know when my ballot has arrived and when it has been counted by the county.

This happened in the 2024 presidential election and **literally** nothing came of it past saying “jeez things really are tense nowadays.”
Please for the love of fuck take action this time and I dont care how severe the consequences are – there need to be consequences.

For people that have tight schedules around voting while trying to drop their kids off for school on time, and getting themselves to work on time, if the polling place was closed even temporarily, they may not get time to go back and vote.
I think we need to get every state to implement a 10 day election period, to make it easier for people to schedule time to vote.

Oh look! MAGA bomb threats in heavy democrat poll locations!

I hope the people who called in the threats are discovered and charged to the fullest extent of the law.

Gee I wonder which side is phoning in bomb threats?

If you are in NJ, stay in line. The point is to disrupt voting as much as possible.

Hell yeah, the conservatives showing just how much they love democracy.

In a based on previous experiences, it’s almost certainly the case that this threat is a fake one just to try to intimidate voters to prevent them from participating in the democratic process. Don’t give in to intimidation guys. This is your fundamental right.

Russians. Call on the national guard and protect these polling places from the MAGAt’s who seek to decay…

Same intimidation playbook as last year?
