Bomb found at North Carolina election office!!!

I posted in LBN, but is this the start of the "terrorists" trying to influence our election in John Edwards state?

ASHEVILLE, N.C. - Bomb squad police Friday disabled a suspected homemade bomb found near the front door of a county elections office.

State elections director Gary Bartlett described the device as a soda bottle filled with a clear liquid in which a battery and wire were placed — topped by what appeared to be a light bulb similar to a Christmas tree light.

"We do not know if it was a random act or if there was a threat against an election officer," he said.

Offices in and around the Buncombe County Board of Elections building were evacuated while the bomb squad disabled the device.

9. There goes the claim of "no terror since 9/11" they love to crow about

As inaccurate as it was to begin with.
