Non-credible threats briefly disrupted voting at two polling locations in Georgia on Tuesday morning, leading to a temporary evacuation and a subsequent effort to extend voting hours. According to local officials, five non-credible bomb threats were reported, resulting in a brief evacuation at two Fulton County locations. Nadine Williams, the county’s registration and elections director, confirmed the incidents during a news conference.
Fortunately, the affected locations, C.H. Gullatt Elementary and Etris Community Center in Union City, southwest of Atlanta, are now operational again. Williams assured the public that all polling sites are secure with an active security presence in place. In response to the disruptions, county officials are planning to seek a court order to keep the two locations open slightly later than originally scheduled.
