Philadelphia police said Friday they are investigating an alleged plot to attack the city’s Pennsylvania Convention Center, where votes from the hotly contested presidential election are being counted. Local police received a tip about a Hummer with armed people driving up from Virginia with plans to attack the convention center, a police representative said. No injuries were reported and no further details about the alleged plot were disclosed. A state appellate court ruled on Thursday that more Republican observers could enter the building in Philadelphia where poll workers were counting ballots. Trump has said repeatedly without evidence that mail-in votes are prone to fraud, although election experts say that is rare in U.S. elections.
