Polling locations in Fulton County, GA close after ‘non-credible’ bomb threats ‘of Russian origin’

At least two polling places temporarily closed in Fulton County, Georgia, on Tuesday after authorities received “non-credible” bomb threats.

Fulton County police said the voting locations at the Etris Community Center and Gullatt Elementary school in Union City closed for a short duration Tuesday morning in response to the threats. The two polling locations were closed for about 30 minutes each, local news station 11 Alive reported 

“The Fulton County Department of Registration & Elections will seek a court order to allow these polling places to remain open for the same period as the temporary closure,” police said. 

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said at a press conference the threats were “of Russian origin.” 

“So they’re up to mischief, it seems. And they don’t want us to have a smooth, fair and accurate election,” he said of Russia.

“And they think they can get us to fight among ourselves. They can count that as a victory. So that’s as you talked a little bit about, the Russians. They’re not our friends. Anyone that thinks they are hasn’t been reading the newspapers.”
