Oh Boy!: There Were A Lot Of Shenanigans On Election Day
It's hard to know where to start, but let's note Donald J. Trump's posts on Truth Social, where he made baseless claims to try to discourage the Black vote. "Philadelphia and Detroit! Heavy Law Enforcement is there!!!" he wrote.
Unsurprisingly, that wasn't a thing.
A spokesman in the Philadelphia Police Department told Fortune the department was "not aware of anything at this time." Similarly, Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner said the only talk about "massive cheating" has come from Trump.
"There is no factual basis whatsoever within law enforcement to support this wild allegation. We have invited complaints and allegations of improprieties all day. If Donald J. Trump has any facts to support his wild allegations, we want them now. Right now. We are not holding our breath."
And there were bomb threats—lots of them.
The Washington Post reports:
"The FBI is aware of bomb threats to polling locations in several states, many of which appear to originate from Russian email domains," the agency said in a statement. "None of the threats have been determined to be credible thus far."
