Why when early voting at the civic center did one not have to even show driver's license as proof of who you are?

Salisbury District Court was evacuated today because a couple brought an infestation of bed bugs to court with them! The courthouse is crawling with bed bugs!

This seems like a phishing attempt. Has this been verified?

Likely a scam or link to collect emails for scamming. Worse...intended to suppress voter turnout.

This IS a phishing site to warn us about phishing sites.

1. The email sender ends in a .co not a .gov so absolutely not coming from DHS
2. Don't you think if voting machines had been recalled and voters needed to go to new sites that media would have been on this. Certainly candidates would be scrambling to let people know any way they could.
3. Report the phishing attempt even if you gave no info. Forward the email to phishing-report@us-cert.gov
