4:34 p.m. Kansas City’s WWI Memorial was defaced this morning with anti-voting messages.

“We are proud to be a polling location & condemn this attempt at voter intimidation. Our democracy is something that generations of veterans, including those in WWI, have fought to defend,” the museum wrote in a statement on Twitter in response to the vandalism.

Editor’s Note: All polling results derived from reporting by NPR and The Associated Press.
