Georgia’s secretary of state, Brad Raffensperger, says that some of his polling sites were targeted with bomb threats originating in Russia as part of the country’s foreign influence operation here in America. He assured voters that the threats are not credible, and that it is safe to vote. 

“We’ve heard some threats that were of Russian origin, so I don’t know how to describe if that’s viable — we don’t think they are — but in the interest of public safety, you always check that out,” the secretary of state said Tuesday morning. “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, and they think they can get us to find amongst ourselves.”
