Nevada, North Carolina, Arizona US Election results 2024 LIVE:  Bomb threats disrupts voting

Bomb threats in areas of Arizona, Georgia, and Pennsylvania were ultimately deemed hoaxes, yet they led to evacuations and caused some polling locations to extend their hours. These threats surfaced throughout the day at polling sites across three metro Atlanta counties, all heavily populated with Democratic voters. 

In Pennsylvania, threats continued into the evening, targeting polling stations and election offices where ballots were being counted. Additionally, three voting sites in Navajo County, Arizona, also reported bomb threats, according to the secretary of state’s office..

Pennsylvania Gov Josh Shapiro said in an evening news conference that the hoaxes posed no danger to the public – or to the election. “Every legal, eligible vote will be counted and counted accurately, and the will of the people in the commonwealth of Pennsylvania will be respected,” said Shapiro, a Democrat.

Neither Shapiro nor Pennsylvania State Police gave details about who might be behind the hoaxes or why Shapiro believed there was no threat to the public.

Nevada, North Carolina, Arizona US Election results 2024 LIVE: Trump’s share of Black vote up at 12%, from 5% in 2020, says exit poll

The Trump campaign put a great deal of effort into persuading Black and Latino voters to defect from the Democratic Party – and there were some early indications those efforts were paying off.

That was most notable in the battleground state of North Carolina, where exit polls showed Trump boosting his share of the Black vote to 12%, from 5% in 2020. He garnered the support of 20% of Black male voters, the poll said.

But a potential problem for Trump in the state was that his support among white voters was five percentage points less than in exit polls four years ago.

Nevada, North Carolina, Arizona US Election results 2024 LIVE: Polls closed in Arizona, North Carolina

Nevada, North Carolina, Arizona US Election results 2024 LIVE:  Florida abortion rights ballot measure falls short of 60% requirement

Florida voters Tuesday rejected creating a constitutional right to abortion, a political win for Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis that will keep in place the state’s ban on most abortions after the first six weeks of pregnancy.

It’s the first ballot measure victory for abortion opponents in any state since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, a decision that ended the nationwide right to abortion and opened the door to bans in most GOP-controlled states, protections in Democrat-dominated ones and new political and legal battles across the country.

The Florida measure failed to clear the required 60% voter approval threshold to pass constitutional amendments in Florida. Most states require a simple majority.

Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the national anti-abortion group SBA Pro-Life America, said in a statement that the result is “a momentous victory for life in Florida and for our entire country,” praising DeSantis for leading the charge against the measure.

Democrat Josh Stein won the North Carolina governor’s race on Tuesday, Edison Research projected, defeating Republican Mark Robinson, whose candidacy imploded following a CNN report that he had called himself a “Black Nazi” and made other offensive remarks on a pornographic website.

Robinson, the Southern state’s lieutenant governor, has denied the allegations and filed a defamation lawsuit against CNN.

Robinson was endorsed by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, who previously praised him as “Martin Luther King on steroids” but whose campaign distanced itself after the scandal broke in September.

Polls closed across nine US states — including the pivotal battlegrounds of Georgia and North Carolina — and early results are beginning to be tallied as the nation watches for signs of how voters broke in the hard-fought battle between Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump.

Nevada, North Carolina, Arizona US Election results 2024 LIVE:  Wall Street rallies on Election Day

U.S. stocks rallied Tuesday as voters headed to the polls on the last day of the presidential election and as more data piled up showing the economy remains solid.

The S&P 500 rose 1.2% to pull closer to its record set last month. The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 427 points, or 1%, while the Nasdaq composite gained 1.4%.

The market’s main event was the election, even if the result may not be known for days or weeks as officials count all the votes. Such uncertainty could upset markets, along with an upcoming meeting by the Federal Reserve on interest rates later this week. The widespread expectation is for it to cut its main interest rate for a second straight time.

Nevada, North Carolina, Arizona US Election results 2024 LIVE: Trump wins three states, Harris takes Vermont

Trump won Indiana, Kentucky and West Virginia in Tuesday’s presidential election while Democrat Kamala Harris captured Vermont, Edison Research projected, as polls closed in the first nine U.S. states, including critical Georgia and North Carolina.

The early results were expected, with the race likely to come down to seven battleground states: Georgia, North Carolina, Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Opinion polls showed the rivals neck and neck in all seven going into Election Day.

Nearly three-quarters of voters say American democracy is under threat, according to preliminary national exit polls from Edison, reflecting the nation’s deep anxiety after a contentious campaign.

Nevada, North Carolina, Arizona US Election results 2024 LIVE: Hoax bomb threats linked to Russia target polling places

The FBI reported that on Tuesday, hoax bomb threats—many seemingly originating from Russian email domains—targeted polling locations in four key battleground states: Georgia, Michigan, Arizona, and Wisconsin, as Election Day voting took place.

“None of the threats have been determined to be credible thus far,” the FBI said in a statement, adding that election integrity was among the bureau’s highest priorities.

Two polling sites in Fulton County, Georgia, were temporarily evacuated following hoax bomb threats. Both locations reopened after about 30 minutes, with officials stating that the county is pursuing a court order to extend voting hours beyond the statewide 7 p.m. deadline. 

Georgia’s Republican Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger, attributed the Election Day bomb threats to Russian interference.

Nevada, North Carolina, Arizona US Election results 2024 LIVE: North Carolina’s top lawyer and No. 2 executive are vying for governor

North Carolina voters choosing a successor to term-limited Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper were deciding Tuesday between an attorney general who would carry on Cooper’s policies and a lieutenant governor whose blunt speaking style and working-class history favored him among hardline conservatives.

Democrat Josh Stein and Republican Mark Robinson were on the ballot with three third-party candidates for the post of chief executive of the ninth-largest state. Democrats have resided at the governor’s mansion for all but four years since 1993, even as the GOP has recently controlled the legislature and appeals courts. (AP)

Nevada, North Carolina, Arizona US Election results 2024 LIVE: The winner of a North Carolina toss-up race could help decide who controls the US House

A pathway for Republicans to keep the U.S. House or for Democrats to take control of it may partially hinge on who is victorious in North Carolina’s only toss-up congressional district.

Democratic U.S. Rep. Don Davis, who is in his first term, and GOP opponent Laurie Buckhout are engaged in a fierce battle to win North Carolina’s 1st Congressional District, one of the few competitive districts across the Southeast. The race has attracted millions of dollars from both parties to either flip or maintain the district, which spans from Currituck County to a small portion of Granville County in the state’s northeast.

The district’s political landscape is a bit different for Davis compared to when he defeated Republican opponent Sandy Smith in 2022. Last year, the GOP-controlled state legislature added a handful of conservative-leaning counties to the district, making it less blue than it once was.

Ronald Jordan was all smiles Tuesday as he entered a polling booth in the US swing state of Georgia, where women voters appeared to outnumber men, but he felt a gnawing concern — his Black male friends were sitting out the election.

Democratic contender Kamala Harris and Republican nominee Donald Trump are both seeking to win over Black voters in the crucial southern state — its largest minority voting bloc — in a race that could be decided by razor-thin margins.

For Jordan, a Black 41-year-old Atlanta resident, the choice is obvious: He favors the Democrat over Trump’s divisive “dark rhetoric” that he fears could tear the country apart. (AFP)

At a press conference, a Maricopa County official debunked misinformation circulating on X about voting centers in the county being shut down due to issues with the printers.

“There have been no vote centers that have been shut down,” said Maricopa County Supervisor Bill Gates.

Earlier today, Tyler Bowyer, an executive with Turning Point USA who was charged in the Arizona 2020 fake elector case, posted on X that the right-wing group was sending buses to move people to functioning voting centers in Maricopa County.

“We have reports of multiple vote centers with ink issues in Maricopa County,” Bowyer posted.

Gates said the printers are being serviced as usual. “We are out there going ahead and servicing the printers as we normally would,” the Maricopa County official said in response to Bowyer’s tweets. (ABC News)

Early vote returns were high, Cooper said, adding that people were also turning out today.

“There’s a lot of excitement here in North Carolina, because we know that we can turn the tide of this race,” he said.

Something that has stood out to him is that among early voters, 55.5% of the electorate were women, he said.

“That’s a record,” he said. And he believes a greater number of women had voted, signaling the state’s suburban vote was up significantly.

He added: “We have a lot more college educated people. Our newer, larger counties are even larger. So we feel very positive that North Carolina can hold a key here. When you think about the fact that Hurricane Helene has hit during this last month.”

Nevada, North Carolina, Arizona US Polls LIVE: How many electoral votes does N Carolina have?

North Carolina has a unique position in U.S. presidential elections, having gained statehood in 1789. With 16 electoral votes, it plays a significant role in determining the outcome of national elections.

Historically, North Carolina has leaned Republican, with the party winning the state in every presidential election since 2012.

However, the state has also demonstrated a competitive spirit, having been carried by Democrats only twice since 1968—once in 1976 and again in 2008 when voters supported Barack Obama.

Nevada, North Carolina, Arizona US Polls LIVE: Nevada voting history

Historically, Nevada was dominated by the Republican Party from the late 1960s until the late 1980s.

However, the influx of new residents has shifted the political landscape, making it increasingly competitive.

The state’s voting patterns are indicative of this change; in the 2016 presidential election, Democrat Hillary Clinton narrowly defeated Republican Donald Trump, garnering 48% of the vote compared to Trump’s 46%. This outcome marked a significant moment, as it was only the second time since 1912 that Nevadans supported a candidate who ultimately lost the presidency, the first being in 1976.

In the subsequent 2020 election, Joe Biden further solidified Nevada’s status as a battleground state by winning approximately 50% of the vote against Trump, who received about 47.5%.

Nevada, North Carolina, Arizona US Polls LIVE: Nevada 2016 election results

Hillary Clinton won Nevada with 47.92% of the vote.

Donald Trump received 45.5% of the vote.

Clinton’s vote share represented a significant decline compared to Barack Obama’s results in 2008 and 2012.

The candidates were Republican Donald Trump (with running mate Mike Pence) and Democrat Hillary Clinton (with running mate Tim Kaine).

Nevada has six electoral votes in the Electoral College.

Nevada, North Carolina, Arizona US Polls LIVE: Arizona Secretary of State debunks fabricated video on election fraud claims

Today, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) issued a joint statement alerting the public to heightened foreign influence operations aimed at undermining the integrity of the upcoming U.S. elections. According to the Intelligence Community (IC), foreign adversaries, particularly Russia, are actively engaged in efforts to sow distrust and create divisions among American voters.

The IC has observed that these influence activities are expected to escalate as election day approaches and into the following weeks, with a particular focus on swing states. Russia has been identified as the most active threat, with influence actors linked to the country reportedly manufacturing videos and disseminating false articles designed to undermine election legitimacy and instill fear among voters. These operations may also incite violence, potentially targeting election officials.

Recent assessments indicate that Russian actors have amplified disinformation, including a false article alleging that U.S. officials are planning election fraud tactics such as ballot stuffing and cyberattacks in swing states. In Arizona, a fabricated video falsely claimed that election fraud was occurring through the creation of fake overseas ballots and manipulation of voter rolls. The Arizona Secretary of State has already denounced these claims as false.

“Russian influence actors also manufactured and amplified a recent video that falsely depicted an interview with an individual claiming election fraud in Arizona, which involved creating fake overseas ballots and changing voter rolls to favor Vice President Kamala Harris. The Arizona Secretary of State has already refuted the video’s claim as false,” said joint statement issued by ODNI, FBI, and CISA.

Nevada, North Carolina, Arizona US Polls LIVE: FBI warns of misinformation targeting election integrity

The FBI has alerted the public to two instances where its name and insignia have been misappropriated to spread false narratives regarding the upcoming election. These misleading videos, which claim to convey critical information, have been flagged as fabrications aimed at inciting confusion among voters.

The first instance involves a fake news clip that falsely claims to be a terrorist warning issued by the FBI. This video inaccurately states that the agency has advised Americans to “vote remotely” due to heightened terror threats at polling stations. The FBI has confirmed that this clip is not genuine and does not reflect the agency’s actual assessments or the safety of polling locations.

The second fabricated video presents a bogus FBI press release alleging that the management of five prisons in Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Arizona conspired to rig inmate voting and colluded with a political party. Like the first, this video has been debunked and contains no truthful information.

The FBI emphasized that election integrity is a top priority and that the agency is collaborating closely with state and local law enforcement to address election-related threats and safeguard communities as Americans exercise their right to vote. These attempts to mislead the public undermine the democratic process and erode trust in the electoral system, officials warned.

In light of these developments, the FBI encourages citizens to seek information about elections and voting from credible sources, such as local election offices. Those who suspect criminal activity related to the election are urged to report their concerns to local authorities or contact the FBI directly at 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324) or submit a tip online at tips.fbi.gov.

Nevada, North Carolina, Arizona US Polls LIVE: High voter turnout in hurricane-affected counties in N Carolina

“We feel like, knock on wood, we’re in very good shape,” Board of Elections Executive Director Karen Bell spoke at a press conference roughly five hours after polls opened this morning in North Carolina.

“At this time, we have not heard reports of any major incidents at any polling places. We also have not heard reports of long lines today,” Bell said. “It is a good day to go vote.”

Even in the 25 counties affected by Hurricane Helene have been able to vote throughout the early voting period and on Election Day — in fact, voters in those counties have turned out at about 59 percent so far, which is higher than the state average, Bell said.

With no anticipated problems at polling locations, the 2,600 precincts are expected to close on schedule at 7:30 PM. Bell anticipates that the majority of unofficial results will be available between 9 PM and 11 PM. (Politico)

Nevada, North Carolina, Arizona US Polls LIVE: Official urges patience as Arizona processes results with new voting laws

Key points from the press conference held by Arizona’s Secretary of State, Adrian Fontes:

Fontes stated that everything is running as smoothly as possible in Arizona.

There were minor issues reported, including a brief power outage in one county and a polling site opening late due to an employee forgetting keys.

The office received eight calls regarding individuals electioneering within 75 feet of polling places.

Fontes confirmed that party observers must be credentialed and mentioned that the Department of Justice sent federal monitors to four counties.

The two-page ballot and a new law requiring the counting of mail ballot envelopes will lead to longer result processing times.

Fontes urged voters to be patient as election officials work through the results.

Addressing concerns about a Russian-manufactured video, Fontes labeled it an attempt to undermine trust in the electoral process.

Nevada, North Carolina, Arizona US Polls LIVE: Arizona ballot could change abortion law

In Arizona, voters have the chance to reverse bans enacted by state legislatures following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade in June 2022, which eliminated the federal right to an abortion.

Abortion rights advocates in this critical battleground state are pushing for a measure that would establish the right to abortion until fetal viability—approximately 24 weeks—in the state constitution.

Currently, Arizona restricts abortions after 15 weeks.
