ALERT: Bulletin Warns of Election Violence

Red alert light against black background, text ALERT.

(5MinNewsBreak.com) – In an alarming revelation, the FBI and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have issued a warning about potential threats to the upcoming general election.

The joint intelligence bulletin outlines a range of potential targets for domestic extremists, including candidates, officials, election workers and even journalists.

According to the bulletin, public venues like voting locations and campaign events are considered attractive targets for these so-called extremists.

Regarding the extremists, the vague language used by the FBI and DHS leaves room for interpretation.

For some, the lack of proper definition means that even Americans could potentially be labeled as threats.

The agencies warn of tactics such as physical attacks, threats, swatting, and doxing.

Even though left-wing activists employ these very same tactics against conservative figures, they rarely face the same level of scrutiny from federal agencies.

Interestingly, the bulletin suggests that an increase in threats to election workers is closely related to contested election results.

Perhaps most concerning is the emphasis on foreign election interference from Russia China, and Iran.

The report also mentions that GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump’s assertions of election rigging have fueled extremist narratives and violence.

This characterization has been seen as unfair as it targets Trump supporters who have legitimate concerns about election integrity and further divides the nation.

In response to these alleged threats, some election officials are implementing extreme security measures.

For example, Maricopa County, Arizona – a hotbed of election controversy in 2020 – is deploying metal detectors, armed guards, drones and even police snipers.
