Saw security on ShopRite and BJ'S entrances. Also saw police at Newport PATH station. Did someone else notice this?

Yeah but that's not exactly new in that area

Probably in response to NYC boosting police presence in and around the subway.

One week away from local elections. Gotta boost the appearance of safety until incumbents are securely re-elected.

There’s been an increased risk of election interference/violence from reports. Same as 2020.

So places where candidates like to go to shake hands, and supporters hand out flyers get more eyes right now.

I see a pattern with all those places listed falling in those buckets. Was the same in 2020 too, but less people likely noticed due to being out less.

FBI issued a warning earlier about elevated anti semitic threats and so both JC and Hoboken have more cop presence.
