An internal NYPD bulletin stressing"elevated vigilance" for any potential election threats with few days left in the year's midterm cycle, but made clear that no known threat currently exists against any of New York's candidates, election workers or polling sites.
That bulletin, reviewed by News 4, warns of the potential danger lurking in online forums and message groups, particularly ones spreading misinformation or lies that could motivate individuals to take"violent action against election-related infrastructure and personnel." "In the aftermath of the US Capitol Riot on 6 January 2021, REMVEs , AGAAVEs , and malicious actors emphasized potentially threatening actions at the local level, encouraging the intimidation of municipal officials, school board representatives, and election staffers," the bulletin warned.. Investigators have not yet disclosed a motive in the home invasion.
