Live election 2024 updates in the Philadelphia region and the focus on Pennsylvania

Harris addressed canvassers in Scranton, Pennsylvania, ahead of a rally later this afternoon in the battleground state, where she emphasized building community and unity.

"I can feel the mood in here because it's the best of who we are as a democracy," Harris said at the event at the Montage Mountain Resort. "We are a people-driven campaign, and we love the people, and we see in the face of a stranger a neighbor, right? And that's the spirit of what we are doing."

She said the "whole era of this other guy" and discussion about "trying to point fingers at each other and divide each other" makes people feel alone.

"As we are getting out to vote, as we are canvassing, let's be intentional about building community, about building community, about building coalitions, about reminding people we all have so much more in common than what separates us," she said.

From the moment he arrived in Milwaukee, after being named former President Donald Trump's running mate, it was clear that one of Sen. JD Vance's primary roles was to help deliver battleground Pennsylvania for the former president.

The day Vance was announced as Trump's vice presidential pick in July, Trump told ABC News Chief Washington Correspondent Jon Karl that he was "going to leave [Vance] in Pennsylvania."

Pennsylvania's importance in this election can't be overstated -- it's a crucial swing state with 19 coveted electoral votes where Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are neck and neck. Whoever wins the state is very likely win the presidential election. During the 2020 election, Pennsylvania was the state that sealed the presidency for President Joe Biden.

Pennsylvania Secretary of State Al Schmidt asked people to remain vigilant and not let disinformation prevent them from voting on Election Day.

During a news conference on Monday, Schmidt also said every voter has a right to cast a ballot without harassment, intimidation or discrimination.

If you experience any of those issues, Schmidt urges you to report it to the Pa. Dept. of State's voter hotline at 1-877-VOTES-PA.

"I will make two commitments to you today. First, that Pennsylvania's election will be free fair, safe and secure," Schmidt said. "Second, all registered voters will have the opportunity to make their voice heard."

Schmidt also said while news organizations may make projections about who won Pennsylvania, the state's votes will not all be counted on election night.

The FBI Field Office in Philadelphia said it has an election command post in operation for Election Day.

The command post will enable the FBI to streamline communication and ensure the safety and security of the election and the public, the bureau said.

"We gather and analyze intelligence to determine whether individuals might be motivated to take violent action for any reason, including due to concerns about the election," the FBI said in a news release.

The FBI will be working with local law enforcement partners.

"We encourage members of the public to remain vigilant and immediately report any suspicious activity to law enforcement," the FBI statement continues.

Other FBI field offices across the country will also have election command posts.
