Well, first off, I want to reassure every voter that we are not going to tolerate anyone trying to interfere with our elections.

Voters should have full confidence that today's elections will be free, fair, and they should be able to cast their vote safely.

We received by email earlier this morning a number of threats to polling places across

about eight counties law enforcement responded immediately at each polling place they've secured the polling places and voters can vote safely at this time there is no indication that any of those threats were credible and almost all of them have been reopened and we direct you to vote.nj.gov if you have questions about your particular polling site how many polling sites did this did these threats actually impact this morning

It's around two dozen polling sites across the state.

And I should note, there's no clear pattern of where they went to.

They were statewide.

But again, I want to thank law enforcement for their incredible response, quickly securing these sites.

Again, no indication that any of these threats were credible.

We've secured all the polling sites and almost all of them have reopened.

Well, over the past eight years, under Governor Murphy's leadership, the state has dramatically expanded access to voting.

So we've seen significant increases in early voting in person and vote by mail.

And we hope that everyone who wants to do so will cast their vote today.

It's an exciting day in the state.

This is a fundamental right, people's right to vote.

And my job principally is to make sure that people can do so safely, freely and fairly.

And that is exactly what I'm focused on.

Well, look, again, I wish New York City, just like New Jersey, a free and fair and safe election today.

And I wish everyone well who's participating in that.

The president has routinely and the administration has routinely unlawfully withheld funds against places that he views as perceived political opponents.
