Bomb Threats Close New Jersey Polling Centers As Voting Begins

Across New Jersey, bomb threats at multiple polling locations have closures and relocations, several reports noted on Tuesday.

Attorney General Matthew Platkin law enforcement responded to emailed bomb threats targeting polling sites in seven New Jersey counties, securing each location after thorough sweeps.

He said several polling sites have already reopened to the public, while voters in affected areas have been redirected to nearby locations to cast their ballots.

“Voters should continue to have confidence that they can cast their ballot without fear of intimidation, and we will continue to work tirelessly to ensure a free, fair, and secure election. Make no mistake: We will not tolerate any attempts to interfere with our elections, and we will swiftly hold accountable anyone who seeks to interfere with the safety or security of our electoral process,” he said.

Paterson Mayor Andre Sayegh said polling sites at School 2 and School 10 were temporarily closed after receiving threats.

In Newark, public safety officials reported receiving phishing emails containing false bomb threats and confirmed that this morning’s threat on Gotthard Street was unfounded.

Hackensack police said a high school employee reported a safety threat via email shortly before 6 a.m., prompting a K9 sweep. The site was cleared, and polls reopened by 7:33 a.m., New Jersey 12 reported.

Threats were sent to the following polling locations, according to the outlet:
