ISIS is calling for terror attacks against Americans on Election Day, according to Rita Katz, the director of SITE Intelligence Group.
The terror group is also urging Muslims to avoid the democratic process, claiming there is no difference between the parties when it comes to their “policies against Islam and Muslims.”

Last week, US intelligence officials warned about an increased terror threat from al Qaeda in New York, Virginia and Texas ahead of Election Day. Local law enforcement agencies are ramping up police presence out of an abundance of caution as a result.
