Two armed men are arrested for driving from Virginia to Philadelphia in a Hummer and 'planning to attack convention center' where ballots are still being counted

Philadelphia police have arrested two men who were allegedly involved in a plot to attack the Pennsylvania Convention Center on Thursday night.

Police were tipped off, possibly from a concerned family member of one of the men, who had driven the 300 miles from Virginia in a Hummer.

It's thought the plan was to possibly carry out an attack at the convention center where votes from the election are still being counted.

Police have taken both men into custody during which point a weapon was found according to 6ABC.

Inside the Convention Center, workers have been tallying hundreds of thousands of votes cast by Philadelphia residents.

In Philadelphia, 358,644 absentee and mail-in ballots have been returned so far. 84 percent of those have been counted, and 58,642 more need to be counted.

Pennsylvania is among a handful of battleground states Trump and Biden are narrowly contesting as they seek the 270 electoral votes needed to win the presidency.

Trump, who held a 675,000-vote lead early Wednesday, prematurely declared victory in the state.

'We're winning Pennsylvania by a tremendous amount. We're up 690,000 votes in Pennsylvania. These aren't even close. It's not like, 'Oh, it's close,' ' Trump said during an appearance at the White House.

But by early Friday morning his lead had slipped to about 22,000 votes, as mail-in ballots from across the state continued to be counted. The late counted ballots were overwhelmingly in Biden's favor.

One reason for the tightening race: Under state law, elections officials are not allowed to process mail-in ballots until Election Day. It's a form of voting that has skewed heavily in Biden's favor after Trump spent months claiming - without proof - that voting by mail would lead to widespread voter fraud.

There's a possibility the race won't be decided for days. If there is less than a half percentage point difference between Biden and Trump's vote total, state law dictates that a recount must be held.

Democrats had long considered Pennsylvania a part of their 'blue wall' - a trifecta that also includes Wisconsin and Michigan - that for years had served as a bulwark in presidential elections. In 2016, Trump won each by less than a percentage point.

Biden, who was born in Scranton, claims favorite-son status in the state and has long played up the idea that he was Pennsylvania's 'third senator' during his decades representing neighboring Delaware.

He's also campaigned extensively in the state from his home in Delaware.

undecided

These are trump people believe me you, he hate terrorists and majority of his supporters are terrorist and mafians that carry guns all around to intimidate voters.

I'm sure if trump finally realised he has lost, he would go to jail for all his stupid shenanigans.

His son inclusive calling for war just because his father is losing his reelection.

That's treason.

Like this if you believe Trumpetians have a hand in this grin

By the way, stop comparing the US to Nigeria, you see that the police are active, investigated and caught them before anything could transpire.

In Nigeria, they would have been transporting dead bodies by now undecided

Anyways, I thought many DemoNrats called Trump a racist who hates blacks. (See image below)

These are sane black people who saw through the lies of the Liberal media. Not some Nigerians who just sit and home and swallow any story because they want to migrate to the U.S.

Trump proud boys

He already told them to stand by before

They want to go and kill people tallying elections in a county they know Biden is leading by 5 to 1 vote

Majority of those votes are also coming from Blacks, so the more incentive for the "white nationalist group"

America is gradually becoming a banana republic. Losing and conceding defeat in an election is not an easy thing. More reasons why I have reserved respect for the man Goodlck Jonathan.

You see... The difference between Nigeria and America is that Nigeria is like a naked woman exposed to world to see who they really are while America is like a woman with clothes who shows you what they want you to see...

This election is exposing everything.
If it was buhari who said he will stop ballots from been counted, the whole world/social media will be on fire....

Thy glory, O "United States", is slain upon thy high places!
How are the mighty fallen!
Tell it not in Gath,
publish it not in the streets of Ash′kelon;
lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice,
lest the daughters of the uncircumcised exult.
