Bomb Threats Reported At Multiple New Jersey Polling Sites — Machines Down In REPUBLICAN Counties

It’s happening already.

Several New Jersey polling sites received bond threats as New Jersey residents are set to cast their vote.

Authorities reported six threats were made at polling sites across the state with the majority of them being in cities located in Newark and Patterson.

NBC News was the first to report on the bomb threats:

Several polling sites across New Jersey received bomb threats overnight, Passaic City Mayor Hector Lora said in a statement.

Lora said that four to six threats were made at polling locations in Passaic, Newark, Patterson and Lodi, all cities just outside of New York City. He added that none of the threats were credible, but that local authorities are “doing safety checks out of an abundance of caution.”

New Jersey Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin said in a statement on X that threats were emailed to polling sites in Bergen, Essex, Mercer, Middlesex, Monmouth, Ocean and Passaic counties, forcing some of the sites to close.

“Make no mistake: We will not tolerate any attempts to interfere with our elections, and we will swiftly hold accountable anyone who seeks to interfere with the safety or security of our electoral process,” Platkin wrote.

It’s unclear if all of the threats Platkin referred to involved explosives. Bomb threats have become somewhat commonplace on Election Day in recent history.

On Monday night President Trump held a tele-rally for the Republican Gubernatorial candidate of New Jersey, per NBC News:

President Donald Trump made a last-minute push to boost Republican turnout in Tuesday’s races for governor in New Jersey and Virginia, but he only mentioned one GOP hopeful by name.

While Trump talked up Jack Ciattarelli, his preferred candidate for governor in New Jersey, he did not name the Republican nominee for governor in Virginia: Winsome Earle-Sears. Instead, he broadly urged supporters to vote for the entire GOP ticket.

Trump endorsed Ciattarelli earlier this year, but has not endorsed Earle-Sears, the state’s lieutenant governor. The president signaled Monday that he believes Ciattarelli has a better shot at winning on Election Day.

“You need to go out and vote for Jack Ciattarelli, who’s a great guy, a friend of mine, a great guy, a very successful man, who wants to put all of his efforts now into really saving New Jersey, making it great again, saving it,” Trump said on the New Jersey call, during which he spoke for just under nine minutes. “And he’s going to do it. He’ll be able to do it. The polls are looking really good.”

Trump spoke for about eight minutes on a call with supporters in Virginia hosted by Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin, touting his endorsed candidate for state attorney general.

“Get out and vote tomorrow for Jason Miyares, very — so important — and the Republicans up and down the ballot,” Trump said, referring to the GOP incumbent who is locked in a tight race against Democrat Jay Jones.

The attorney general race has been rocked by recent revelations of text messages in which Jones wrote that a top GOP colleague in the state House should be shot in the head. Jones has since apologized for the texts.
