This is a breaking and developing story, of which not much information is yet available. Apparently, a white powder was thrown into the air at a polling place in NJ. The school in which the polling was taking place was evacuated and hazmat crews were called. I posted this in order to keep everyone posted on developments as America attempts to vote.

The incident happened at 9 a.m. at Fleetwood Elementary School at 231 Fleetwood Ave in Mt Laurel, N.J., police say.

A witness at the scene said a person apparently entered the building, threw a white substance into the air and fled.

A hazardous material truck, several fire trucks and police cars were on the scene, and groups of children could be seen in the school's parking lot from aerial views from Chopper 10.

I wonder if this will continue, is an isolated incident, or evidence of a pattern of disruption efforts on the part of extremists from both sides, or something more?

Theres a FEMA sponsored national series of terror exercises to go on today. This may be one of them?

Update:

Reports are now indicating that this white powder was salt.

Seems a little odd that someone would use a scare tactic clearly associated with the anthrax scare of the early post 9/11 days.

And salt? Were they just trying to shut down the polling? Who was it? Did they catch the person? I'll stay abreast on this one.
