Philadelphia police took two people into custody Thursday night after getting a tip about an out-of-state plot to attack the Pennsylvania Convention Center, where votes were being counted overnight. Police found a weapon in the Hummer from Virginia they were warned to expect, Action News 6 reports. The Hummer itself was still parked on the street Friday morning, with an American flag and QAnon sticker visible on the back.

President Trump has a narrow lead 18,000-vote in Pennsylvania, but that's expected to be erased Friday morning after election workers in Philadelphia and elsewhere release new counts of tens of thousands of mail-in ballots. Biden has been winning mail-in votes statewide by about 75 percent to 25 percent, and more like 90 percent to 10 percent in Philadelphia, MSNBC's Steve Kornacki reports.
