Several non-credible bomb threats that briefly disrupted voting at two Georgia polling places originated from Russia, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger told reporters Tuesday.
The non-credible threats caused the temporary closure of polling places at the Etris Community Center and Gullatt Elementary in Union City, just outside of Atlanta, according to Fulton County Police. Union City’s population is nearly 90% Black, according to the US Census Bureau.
The county is seeking to extend voting hours due to the disturbance, according to Nadine Williams, Fulton County registration and elections director.
100% chance Trump tries to use the extended voting hours as an excuse to throw out Fulton County votes.
