Bomb threat forces polling site to relocate
ADVERTISEMENT
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Police say a bomb threat at Middleton High School is forcing election workers to relocate the polling place.
Police dispatcher Tim Hoeksema says high school officials received the threat shortly after 3 p.m. today.
He says he doesn’t have details on the threat but it was serious enough to move the polling place from the school to the Middleton Fire Department.
Hoeksema says voting will continue at the fire department until polls close at 8 p.m.
Middleton is a western suburb of Madison.

Wow... after two years of:
.
insane quantities of brainwashing - I mean advertising - spending
.
incessant internal party and bi-partisan bickering, sniping, and childish arguing
.
and enough tv time to have educated every illiterate in this country to high school graduation equivalency - had useful and accurate information been aired
.
we managed to elect a "present"-voting done-nothing-to-show-leadership-in-his-one-term, vague promises, liberal democrat instead of a tired, worn-out, part-of-the-problem, stay-the-course, conservative republican.
.
I'm afraid to go to bed tonight lest I miss the awe-inspiring change which will surely sweep this nation in the wake of such an impressive Presidential campaign.
