On November 5, 2024, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, experienced heightened tensions as supporters of Donald Trump raised massive fraud allegations ahead of voting. Despite a strong police presence to mitigate potential unrest, reports of voter intimidation surfaced. Richard Morelli from the county’s election office emphasized the importance of transparency, implementing live feeds of the ballot storage area to assuage concerns. While high voter turnout was noted, the day concluded with a bomb threat that temporarily halted vote counting. As results began rolling in, Trump secured critical states, further intensifying the atmosphere on election night.
