Prosecutors have charged two men who were carrying weapons near the Pennsylvania Convention Center, where ballots from the election are still being counted.
The two men were arrested on Thursday after the FBI received a tip-off about an armed group travelling to the city from Virginia. They were not authorised to carry the weapons in Pennsylvania.
According to ABC news, their vehicle displayed a sticker promoting the QAnon conspiracy theory.
As we've already reported, police in the city were forced to evacuate an area near the convention centre on Friday after receiving a bomb threat. However, a search revealed no explosives.
Supporters of both Donald Trump and Joe Biden have been holding protests in the city as the ballot count continues. Pennsylvania, with its 20 electoral votes, is a key battleground state that looks set to determine the course of the election.
