00:00We've also been made aware that in the course of the last hour, multiple bomb threats have
00:05been called into polling locations and municipal buildings across Pennsylvania.
00:11My team and I have been in direct communication with Pennsylvania State Police Colonel Christopher
00:17Parris, who is coordinating with local and federal law enforcement as well as PEMA.
00:24State and local law enforcement, along with the FBI, are investigating these threats and
00:30thus far there is no credible threat to the public.
00:35The building is safe and secure.
00:36We've worked at Chester County Detective's local law enforcement, providing some assistance
00:41to secure the building, but we also contacted the FBI immediately.
00:46We've been in coordination with the FBI about this threat.
00:49I can tell everyone that this appears to be overseas in origin.
00:52I'll defer to the FBI's statement about where it is, but I know they are working off an
00:57idea that some of the IP addresses are coming from Russia.
01:00What is clear from all the recent news reports and information from the FBI is that this
01:04is part of a persistent, coordinated attempt to call in bomb threats to swing states in
01:11order to disrupt the election.
01:13Commissioner, on Truth Social, former President Trump has accused Philadelphia of having cheating
01:18going on.
01:19What's your response to that?
01:20The allegations about massive cheating in Philadelphia are absolutely false.
01:24There is no evidence whatsoever of massive cheating.
01:26We worked closely with the RNC and everyone across Philadelphia.
01:30Any time that they had a complaint about anything, we handled it in real time and if anybody
01:36has evidence of widespread cheating, please send it in because we'd like to see it and
01:39I guarantee you there won't be any.
01:41There was a number of bomb threats called in and some polling locations.
01:47How many and how did it affect voting today?
01:51So we're working closely with our law enforcement officers and we'll publicize that as you know
01:59because again it's an ongoing investigation so you don't want to upset the investigation.
