A voting location in Gwinnett County, Georgia, housing two polling precincts was evacuated for approximately an hour today following a bomb threat. The Mountain Park Aquatic Center, which accommodates two of the county's 156 precincts, was cleared at 12:44 p.m. ET as confirmed by the Gwinnett County Police Department.
Authorities stated that after speaking with employees and polling workers, no suspicious activity was observed, leading to the reopening of the location. A subsequent check by a crew found normal activity at the center, which is now fully operational. Voters currently casting their ballots were reportedly unaware of the earlier incident.
