Polling places and locations where ballots are counted have beefed up security in advance of Tuesday’s election, deploying bomb- and firearm-sniffing dogs, metal detectors, panic buttons and even rooftop snipers to protect workers and voters.

Two layers of security fencing surround the building, as well as metal detectors and even rooftop snipers.

Employees in the DEA’s polygraph unit, which vets prospective agents, reported being pressured to pass candidates after they failed a lie detector test, report says.

“There were always guns around Diddy,” Mr Shuter said, describing metal detectors in his apartment that resembled those at an airport.

Many who arrived for the event reunited with friends outside the theater before walking through metal detectors and showing identification to access the packed venue.
