FBI办公室发帖称选举日在星期三：核查指出中期选举就在今天星期二
11月2日，联邦调查局（FBI）纽黑文办公室的官方X账号@FBINewHaven发帖，第一句就写错了投票日：「选举日是星期三，FBI正全天候工作，确保中期选举安全。」这条帖子随后在社交平台扩散，引来大量网友指出错误。2026年美国中期选举的投票日是今天，11月3日星期二，不是星期三。
这条帖子本意是宣传一段选举安全访谈：该办公室特别探员主管P. J. O'Brien与公共事务专员Christine Jeltema接受康涅狄格之声（@thevoiceofct）采访，谈FBI如何保护选举完整性，包括应对威胁、选民胁迫与选票欺诈等问题。帖子把最基本的日期写错，反而成了话题本身。
事实核查机构Lead Stories于11月3日凌晨发布核查，确认@FBINewHaven不是仿冒或讽刺账号，其账号在FBI官方网站上有引用，是真实的官方账号。Lead Stories援引《美国法典》第2编第7条指出，联邦选举定在「11月第一个星期一之后的星期二」，2026年即11月3日星期二。Lead Stories表示已向FBI纽黑文办公室询问，截至其凌晨更新时未见回复。
另有媒体报道称，这条帖子在X上留了数小时后才被删除，期间被X的社区核查功能标记；有超过百万粉丝的评论者发帖质问为何FBI会告诉选民错误的投票日，并提醒「请在11月3日星期二投票」。
康涅狄格州今天的投票站开放时间为上午6时至晚上8时，晚上8时仍在排队的选民可以继续投票。本文只报道帖子写错日期这一已核实事实，不对发帖原因作推测。
FBI Office Post Called Election Day Wednesday: Fact-Checkers Note the Midterms Are Today, Tuesday
On November 2, the official X account of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's New Haven field office, @FBINewHaven, opened a post with the wrong voting day: "Election day is Wednesday and the #FBI is working around the clock to ensure the midterms are safe." The post spread across social media, drawing many users who pointed out the error. Election Day for the 2026 U.S. midterms is today, Tuesday, November 3, not Wednesday.
The post was meant to promote an election-security interview: the office's Special Agent in Charge P. J. O'Brien and Public Affairs Specialist Christine Jeltema had sat down with The Voice of Connecticut (@thevoiceofct) to discuss how the FBI protects the integrity of elections, including threats, voter intimidation and ballot fraud. By getting the most basic date wrong, the post itself became the story.
Fact-checking outlet Lead Stories published its check in the early hours of November 3, confirming that @FBINewHaven is not a satire or impostor account: it is referenced on the official FBI website. Citing Title 2, Section 7 of the U.S. Code, Lead Stories noted that federal elections fall on "the Tuesday next after the 1st Monday in November," which in 2026 is Tuesday, November 3. Lead Stories said it had reached out to the FBI's New Haven office and had received no reply as of its early-morning update.
Other reporting said the post stayed up for hours before being deleted, was flagged by X's community fact-checking feature in the meantime, and drew posts from commentators with large followings asking why the FBI was telling voters the wrong day, urging people to "Vote on Tuesday Nov 3rd."
Polls in Connecticut are open today from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m., and voters still in line at 8 p.m. may vote. This story reports only the verified fact that the post stated the wrong day, and does not speculate about why the error occurred.
