According to Odaily, voting at two polling stations in Georgia was briefly interrupted due to unverified threats, as reported by CNN. Local officials have stated their intention to seek a court order to extend voting hours in response to the incident. Nadine Williams, the Director of Registration and Elections for Fulton County, revealed during a press conference that five unverified bomb threats were reported. These threats led to the temporary evacuation of two polling locations: C.H. Gullatt Elementary School and Etris Community Center, for approximately 30 minutes.
Williams assured the public that the polling stations have since resumed operations. She emphasized that security personnel are stationed at all voting locations to ensure the safety of voters and staff. The swift response to the threats highlights the importance of maintaining security and public confidence in the electoral process. The decision to seek an extension of voting hours aims to accommodate any disruptions caused by the evacuations, ensuring that all eligible voters have the opportunity to cast their ballots without hindrance.
