Deliberate Diversion on Election Day?

Voodoo just posted this comment on the open thread( I hope he or she doesn't mind if I use their quote):

Something that hasn't received much mention is the "bomb threat" in the Tallahassee elections office on November 1. Tallahassee is the state capitol, and this building holds the main vote tabulating computer. This incident, in and of itself, might seem to be unfortunate coincidence, however, it was followed by the "terror threat" in Warren County on November 2. Both incidents resulted in evacuations leaving critical sites unattended, with only "authorized" personnel allowed access.

from the comments section.
the whole thing can be found here:

I had found information that wmd/terrorism drills were held on election day, as well as info on Senator Dayton closing his D.C. office on election day due to "intelligence reports of possible terrorism in D.C."  I'm posting this info as a dairy simply to present what took place on election day in defferent parts of the country. You may draw your own conclusions. From  Citizens for Legitimate Government:

"At least three states have WMD/Terrorism Incident drills scheduled for Tuesday, November 2, 2004 - Election Day. As of May 8, 2001, Dick Cheney was placed in charge of managing all domestic preparedness related to Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD).

It is likely that Cheney will be managing all of the Election Day WMD/Terrorism Incident drills across the country. The presidential statement, which gave Cheney this power, also created the Office of National Preparedness. FEMA's website makes the national announcement, but omits any dates, saying only that this is a "training course" that takes place over three 8-hour days. The course is headed by the Office of Domestic Preparedness. http://www.fema.gov/compendium/course_detail.jsp?id=353

Arizona is running a WMD/Terrorism Incident exercise on Election Day.
