SECURITY INCREASED AT OKLAHOMA COUNTY ELECTION BOARD

Following the arrest of two Afghan men living in Oklahoma accused of planning an Election Day terrorism plot, questions have arisen about a recent security upgrade at the Oklahoma County Election Board.

In August, County Commissioners voted to place concrete barriers around the election board building, a move that now seems potentially linked to concerns about the alleged plot.

The men, Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi, 27, and a teenage accomplice, had been under surveillance by federal and state authorities since the summer, according to an indictment. Law enforcement claims the pair were planning an Election Day attack, prompting increased security measures.

Gov. Kevin Stitt confirmed that law enforcement had been tracking the two suspects for months.
