In a surprising turn of events, Georgia's Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger, revealed that recent bomb threats targeting Atlanta-area polling stations came from Russia. These threats, although deemed non-credible, briefly interrupted voting at two locations in Union City. The Etris Community Center and Gullatt Elementary School were temporarily closed as a precaution. While the threats didn't cause real harm, they did raise concerns about election interference. Raffensperger suggested that these disruptions could be part of Russia's strategy to create chaos and divide voters.
Local authorities are working to extend voting hours to make up for the lost time. The FBI is also involved, reassuring the public that there's no credible threat. Voters on the ground, like Michael Osborne, noticed something was off when they saw emergency vehicles at their polling site. They had to wait outside until law enforcement gave the all-clear.
