There were bomb threats made at five voting locations in Georgia, according to local authorities. Because of the bomb threats, voting was suspended.

The official website of DeKalb County released a statement regarding the seven bomb threats, including seven made in five voting precincts on Election Day. . .

County officials noted that two other locations received bomb threats: the Salem Panola Library at 5137 Salem Road in Lithonia and the Old Sam’s Club in Stonecrest — which is not an active polling location. . .

“Rest assured that we are working quickly to ensure every voter will have an opportunity to cast their ballot despite these bomb threats,” said DeKalb Voter Registration and Elections Executive Director Keisha Smith. “Out of an abundance of caution, we are suspending voting at these polling locations until we have clearance from DeKalb Police to reopen the facilities.” (Read more from “5 Voting Locations in Georgia Receive Bomb Threats, Voting Suspended” HERE)
