Americans are waiting with bated breath. This could change everything.
Because the FBI made an earth shattering arrest with major consequences for the election results.
In a troubling sign of the increasing dangers surrounding U.S. elections, FBI agents have recently arrested two individuals in Michigan for making election-related threats, as reported by The Detroit News.
One of the suspects, Isaac Sissel, was allegedly involved in an assassination plot targeting former President Donald Trump.
According to authorities, Sissel posted on Reddit using the disturbing handle “ShootUpTrumpRally,” later telling investigators he believed “everything would be better if Trump was dead.”
In a separate case unsealed on Tuesday, Christopher Clay Pierce, a 46-year-old from Jackson, Michigan, faces charges for making repeated threats against a Democratic-aligned political action committee (PAC) over the past two years.
Despite prior warnings from the FBI, Pierce allegedly continued his online harassment of the PAC, seemingly undeterred by potential legal consequences.
The FBI has also sounded alarms about a wave of fake videos circulating online, attempting to manipulate the public’s trust in the election process.
Two misleading videos released this week falsely advised Americans to “vote remotely” due to an alleged terrorist threat at polling stations and hinted at fabricated voter fraud in prisons across key swing states.
These videos, designed to appear like an FBI press release and a report by CBS News, did not gain widespread views on X.
However, the FBI confirmed they were created to “undermine our democratic process and erode trust in the electoral system.”
CBS News further clarified on X that the video falsely bearing its logo was “fabricated.”
BBC Verify has linked these clips to a Russia-based disinformation network responsible for hundreds of similar fakes in recent months, suggesting a larger, coordinated effort to fuel division and distrust during election season.
Adding to the chaotic landscape, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger confirmed bomb threats made against multiple polling locations this morning, although they were ultimately deemed non-credible.
Nonetheless, the cumulative effect of these threats, disinformation campaigns, and violent plots sends a stark message: the 2024 election cycle has shaped up to be more volatile and dangerous than ever before, testing the resilience of America’s democratic institutions.
