ATLANTA: At the very least two polling websites within the US election battleground state of Georgia have been briefly evacuated on Tuesday (Nov 5) after faux bomb threats that election officers within the state blamed on Russian brokers.
The threats, which have been deemed to be non-credible, brought about two polling areas in Fulton County, Georgia, to be evacuated. Each re-opened after about half-hour, officers mentioned, and the county is in search of a courtroom order to increase the placement’s voting hours previous the statewide 7.00pm deadline.
Republican Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger mentioned Russian interference was behind the Election Day bomb hoaxes.
“They’re as much as mischief, it appears. They do not need us to have a clean, honest and correct election, and if they’ll get us to battle amongst ourselves, they’ll depend that as a victory,” Raffensperger instructed reporters.
