More non-credible bomb threats sent to Atlanta area
Additional non-credible bomb threats were sent to polling locations in the Atlanta area, according to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, as a dozen counties remain open late due to threat-related evacuations earlier in the day.
"I know that in Atlanta, they just got a whole bunch of bomb threats coming through," Raffensperger said at a press briefing Tuesday evening. "All the precincts are staying open and they're just sending dogs around to sweep it to make sure they're safe."
"Best we can tell these would probably be coming from the same source," he added, referring to his earlier claim that Russia was behind the threats.
Raffensperger said 12 counties across the state are remaining open late due to threats to polling places: six in Dekalb, five in Fulton and one in Gwinnett.
Three additional counties will be open late due to "normal causes," he said.
