The biggest story of the night is Russia calling multiple bomb threats into Democratic strongholds across the country. This should shock every American to the core.
Putin cynically states that "a number of Western states have taken a hostile course to escalate and prolong the Ukrainian conflict".
And this is coming from the one who started, continues and at any moment can stop this war.
He is mocking the whole world.
Paul Rudd showing up at Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to bring students water while they were getting ready to vote made me so happy!
He's a national treasure!
When we get through this we need to address the electoral college. This election should never have been close and it only is because of this archaic and anti-democratic system.
It’s insane to me that we now live in a world where Democratic polling locations are being targeted with fake bomb threats in order to suppress turnout.
Do NOT panic during this first part of the evening.
Rural counties report first because they have fewer votes to count -- tends to result in Republicans coming out to early leads.
Democratic count tends to come in later in the evening.
Keep Kamala and carry on a la.
HUGE NEWS: Johnson County, Iowa's most Democratic county, is on track to shatter turnout records tonight. if you are in line to vote, please stay in line! We had a US House race decided by only six votes here in 2020, your ballot could make the difference.
Russia has been trying to sow division and mistrust in the US and West for decades, expanding on Soviet concepts with the aid of modern tech like social media. Trump has been a potent weapon for them in this war.
Democracy requires responsibility. It is the President's responsibility to serve the people. It is the people's responsibility to elect leaders who will defend the constitution, and not seize power. Voting for Kamala Harris is our responsibility to America.
Georgia Secretary of State:
„We identified the source of the bomb threat and it is Russian. They (the Russians) don’t want us to have smooth and fair elections and they think that they can get us fight among ourselves. They are not our friends.“
Georgia's Secretary of State of Georgia confirms that Russia is closing down polling stations by calling in bomb threats.
Exactly what they were doing in the COUNTRY of Georgian during their elections 2 weeks ago.
BREAKING: A judge in Northampton County refused to extend voting hours, despite waits of 6+ hours near Lehigh University. But if you’re in line at 8 p.m, you can vote. If the Banana Factory is your polling place and you haven’t voted yet, get in line by 8!
In Philadelphia, Pennsylvania—standing in the National Constitution Center: my message to voters both Republicans & Democrats of gratitude…& my message to those who work for Trump still today, who will have a moral decision to make in the coming days when he continues to lie about this election. Do the right thing for our country. Tell the truth.#ElectionDay
Could not sleep last night. I woke up thinking about how this should have been Jaime's first time as a voter. I woke up thinking about what I lost because of failed policy for far too many years. I can say with certainty that Jaime would have loved voting for @KamalaHarris. The photo below is of our next President standing at the memorial at the school where Jaime was murdered and looking at Jaime's photo. Today I am hoping that this country turns out to vote for Jaime, and all victims of gun violence, and the chance to do more to prevent future gun violence so that other young people are free from gun violence and get to grow up to become first time voters. I am hoping that this country turns out and votes for those already injured by the draconian abortion laws and the chance to do more to protect health care and bodily autonomy for women. I am hoping that this country turns out in reaction to climate change and the epic disasters that we are now seeing and the hope to do more to reflect that reality that climate change is real. I am hoping that this country turns out to protect voting rights already under attack and the chance to do more to protect our rights to vote in this incredible Democracy. I am hoping that this country turns out and votes to send a message loudly and clearly that we want decency, civility, and honest debate and to make clear that we have had enough of the indecency and "alternative facts" that have affected our political discourse for far too long. I am hoping that this country turns out and votes to make clear that our Democracy is still worth defending and something that American voters can proudly stand and deliver the anthem for, and the rest of the world can look up to.
If you still have not voted, today is the day. Today is the day to vote for what you hope not to lose and also to vote for what you hope for in the future.
IC warns of the next phase of false claims from Russia, Iran, Trump and their other useful idiots. By pre-bunking election disinformation, we can build resilience to these attacks on our democracy and national security. My thoughts in Bloomberg. https://t.co/Xbi5LzInPp
