Pemilihan AS 2024 dipenuhi dengan disinformasi. Sekarang, ada ancaman bom. Pada tanggal 5 November, Hari Pemilihan, FBI merilis pernyataan singkat mengakui banyak ancaman bom di pusat pemungutan suara. Badan tersebut menyarankan adanya campur tangan asing dalam pemilihan AS: FBI menyadari ancaman bom ke lokasi pemungutan suara di beberapa negara bagian, banyak di antaranya berasal dari domain email Rusia. Tidak ada ancaman yang dianggap kredibel sampai saat ini. Integritas pemilihan adalah salah satu prioritas tertinggi FBI. Kami akan terus bekerja sama dengan mitra penegak hukum negara dan lokal kami untuk menanggapi setiap ancaman terhadap pemilihan kami dan melindungi komunitas kami saat warga Amerika menggunakan hak suara mereka. Be wary of candidates claiming victory too soon. Voters may be eager to hear presidential election results as soon as possible but, according to election experts, a count is rarely official the day votes are cast, since the process for validating, processing, and counting every single ballot takes time. Media outlets — and candidates — may call an election early, based on projected figures and the size of the margin between the candidates in various battleground states. But that doesn’t mean every vote has been tabulated yet, especially in states that don’t allow mail-in, absentee, or early-cast ballots to be processed before election day. Be careful to validate the sources of any official calls that may circulate online. Learn how election winners are called by reputable organizations, like the Associated Press. Individuals are encouraged to follow the election bodies in key battleground states for the most accurate information and official counts: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
