2024 election LIVE updates: Polls begin to close across the country
A spate of bomb threats has interrupted voting around the Atlanta area today. Some polling places will have extended hours because the threats forced closures until they could be checked out.
There's no sign that any of the threats were legitimate.
Polls in the 3rd, 5th, 6th, 7th and 9th districts closed in Indiana at 6 p.m. and in Kentucky, polls closed in the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th districts. Polls will close fully at 7 p.m. in both states.
The Associated Press has begun recording results in both states. So far, Trump is leading in both states, which were expected to lean red.
Indiana has 11 electoral votes. Kentucky has eight electoral votes.
Former President Donald Trump took to social media hours before polls were even close to closing in Philadelphia, claiming that there has been "massive cheating" in the city.
Trump posted the accusation to his Truth Social account at 4:39 p.m. Tuesday, as voters continued heading to the polls in Philadelphia and across Pennsylvania.
"A lot of talk about massive CHEATING in Philadelphia. Law Enforcement coming!!!" he wrote.
Shortly after his post, Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner issued a statement countering Trump's claim and inviting the former president to provide any facts or evidence to back the allegation, WTXF reports.
Philadelphia City Commissioner Seth Bluestein, a Republican, also denied there was any truth to Trump's allegation.
"There is absolutely no truth to this allegation. It is yet another example of disinformation. Voting in Philadelphia has been safe and secure," Bluestein wrote on X.
Stages, security and screens are all being put up at Howard University as they prepare to host Vice President Kamala Harris' watch party.
Harris graduated from the university in 1986. Harris describes her time on campus as her formative years and where she fell in love with politics.
'The Yard' is where Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz, will hold the watch party. In addition to the increased security measures on campus, streets nearby are blocked off as well as a number of parking restrictions through Sunday, Nov. 10.
In a letter to the Howard community, university President Ben Vinson III says the Department of Public Safety "is working in collaboration with local and national law enforcement agencies on safety measures for our students, faculty, and staff, and an unprecedented number of visitors to our community."
In-person classes are canceled for the week, meaning a number of buildings are closed but students still have access to their dorms.
