Law enforcement agencies prepared for unrest beyond Election Day
Law enforcement officials say they're prepared to deal with unrest on Election Day, but expect the threat to continue in the days that follow.
Security fencing surrounds the Capitol in Washington, Monday, Nov. 4, 2024.
Election workers across the country are being bombarded with threats and law enforcement agencies nationwide are dedicating "substantial resources" to ensure public safety during the election, a new threat assessment obtained by ABC News says.
"It is more likely that in the aftermath of the election results and the counting of the Electoral College votes, that individuals who believe that the election was rigged, stolen, or unfairly decided could decide to conduct lone offender or lone wolf attacks in response," said Javed Ali, the former senior counterterrorism coordinator at the National Security Council and now an associate professor at the University of Michigan's Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy.

The FBI says in a statement that they are aware of the bomb threats and "many of which appear to originate from Russian email domains."
"None of the threats have been determined to be credible thus far," the FBI said.
The threats are in several states, according to the agency.
"As always, we urge the public to remain vigilant and report suspicious activity to state or local law enforcement, or submit tips to the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324) or online at tips.fbi.gov."
