Majority-Black City's Polling Places Hit With 'Non-Credible' Bomb Threats (11/5 4:24 pm ET)

Several "non-credible" bomb threats interrupted Georgia voting at two polling places in a majority-Black city.

On Tuesday (November 5), Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said bomb threats at Etris Community Center and Gullatt Elementary in Union City, which boasts a nearly 90 percent Black population, originated from Russia, per CNN.

“We’ve heard some threats that were of Russian origin. I don’t know how to describe that that’s viable – we don’t think they are, but in the interest of public safety, we always check that out, and we’ll just continue to be very responsible when we hear about stuff like that,” Raffensperger said in a statement. “We identified the source, and it was from Russia.”

“They’re up to mischief, it seems, and they don’t want us to have a smooth, fair, and accurate election,” he added. “Anything that can get us to fight amongst ourselves - they can count that as a victory.”

The FBI also addressed the threats but didn't name a source.
