Bomb threats on Election Day in Fulton County, Georgia | Not deemed credible
- Where they came from: Georgia Sec. of State Brad Raffensperger said they were "of Russian origin."
- There were five locations that received the threats: Fulton County Election Director Nadine Williams did not specify all five in a morning press conference. She explicitly described them as "non-credible."
- Two were evacuated for 30 minutes each: Williams said the county is working to obtain a court order to allow the two locations to stay open 30 extra minutes tonight to account for the delay. The two locations were in Union City: Etris-Darnell Senior Center and C.H. Gullatt Elementary School.
- South Fulton Police also addressed threats: Officers went to Feldwood Elementary, which is serving as a polling place, and swept the building, according to the department. No evacuation at this site took place.
- What South Fulton PD added: According to the department, what can best be described as a threat of a threat went to several other schools in addition to Feldwood. It promised that bomb threats would come in at 8:15 a.m., but South Fulton PD said no threats at that time actually materialized. As such, it's unclear if Feldwood Elementary was part of the five mentioned by Fulton Election Director Williams.
- South Fulton Police clarified that an additional location, the Southwest Arts Center off New Hope Road in Atlanta, was also targeted with a threat and evacuated. The location was quickly swept and reopened.
No other threat situations have emerged as of 11:30 a.m. on Tuesday in Georgia.
