They are starting to compete with Fox News, to try and gain viewership from the 70+ Million Trumphumping MAGAots.....

Most all of the Rich, Republican, owned/operated Media in the entire U.S. so why wouldn't CNN join them?

If they don't.....Trump will just Sue them, and get them to pay him off, roll over to the right, just as he did most recently with CBS....etc

NEW: Multiple polling places temporarily closed Tuesday morning in Northern New Jersey after precincts received emailed bomb threats later deemed to be not credible, prompting election officials to direct some voters to other polling places.

about these callers being tracked down, arrested, and sentenced to prison?

Several polling locations in New Jersey have been moved on Election Day due to bomb threats that officials say are not credible and other police activity, authorities said.

“Early this morning, law enforcement responded to threats that were received by email involving certain polling places in Bergen, Essex, Mercer, Middlesex, Monmouth, Ocean, and Passaic counties,” the state Office of the Attorney General said in a statement Tuesday.

“Law enforcement officers have responded at each affected polling place, and they have worked swiftly to secure these polling locations and ensure the safety of every voter. Some of these polling locations have already re-opened to the public. At others, voters will be directed to a nearby polling location to cast their ballot.”

ALL fingers pointing to Trump.

I mean, his full throated(pun intended) endorsement of Andrew Cuomo is a hint in the NYC Mayor's race.

It's probably been more than 25 years since I've dialed *69.

Even the term "dialed" is archaic. Most Gen-Zers (such as my child) have never seen a phone with a dial.

They know we can sweep the elections today if our people turn out.

there to be bomb threats, especially in Democratic majority districts. These threats happened in '24, they're happening now, and you better believe they will happen again in '26.

This is a form of voter suppression, and if we are to save our freedoms and democracy, we need to find an effective way to resist these acts of terror.

This is becoming an ever more frequently used Republican voter suppression tactic. Officials really need to come up with a better way of dealing with it than shutting down polling places for most of the day. It's especially insideous since Republicans are committed the outlawing every voting method except in person election day voting, and then they try to get all the polling places in Democratic areas closed on election day.

most people voted early.
I passed a polling place this morning and there were hardly any cars parked there. Usually it's overflow traffic all day long.
This is the first year I voted early and the polling place was very busy.

Thank goodness for early and mail in voting.

Even in a blue state like New Jersey (where many areas are blue) . We have the same problem in Pennsylvania, with a few solid-blue counties and the rest are half & half, or not blue at all. The County Election officials must all follow the laws of our state, regardless of their personal political convictions.

If they can't do that, they have no business applying for the job.

This is a big THANK-YOU to all County Elections officials because the vast majority are good Americans!

If one person can turn away one hundred voters, even if only temporarily and despite being eventually caught, it's more than worth it to trump and his fans.
