Officials in at least two states and DC responded to threats or suspicious behavior Tuesday.
In DC, US Capitol Police arrested a man who “smelled like fuel” and attempted to enter the Capitol Visitor Center with a torch and flare gun. Officials did not immediately release more information about the man or his intentions. In Georgia, meanwhile, two polling locations outside Atlanta closed briefly after receiving what officials termed “non-credible” bomb threats.
Ballot drop boxes were set on fire in Oregon and Washington last week, damaging hundreds of ballots. Fights broke out at early polling locations in South Carolina, Illinois, and Texas after voters became belligerent with election workers or judges. Over the weekend, law enforcement agents also arrested a 24-year-old white supremacist who had allegedly plotted to blow up an electric substation in Nashville, an attack that would have left thousands without power on the eve of the election.
