Preparation Kept Bomb Threats from Disrupting the 2024 Elections

> It provides no actionable information, its just an "attaboy" to the state.

There is actionable information: state governments and election officials cooperated more closely in the 2024 election than in previous elections, should not expect the need for cooperation to decrease, and should train officers to handle election-related threats. The article is in part a warning about avoiding the false sense of security encouraged by media framings of a "smooth" or "boring" 2024 election, or attitudes like `probably just another bomb hoax`.

Also, the article is not an "attaboy":

> Election officials and at least one governor were quick to praise law enforcement for their work. Congratulations are certainly in order, but the work is not done. Election security, like cybersecurity, is a race without an end. While both communities made important strides ahead of the 2024 election, without ongoing investment these gains may be quickly lost.

There are some polling centers in PA and NC that were the targets of bomb threats. The only reason I know this is because there has been an ongoing effort to recount some of these precincts and they keep getting stonewalled.
