Chaos erupts in key US state as voting SUSPENDED due to bomb threats
Voting has been suspended at a key swing state in the US Presidential Election due to a series of bomb threats.
According to a press release by the county, bomb threats were called in to five voting locations in Georgia’s DeKalb County, as well as two other locations that are not polling places.
DeKalb County CEO Michael Thurmond said: “Every asset that we have will be deployed to ensure that every citizen who wants to vote will be given that opportunity and every vote cast will be counted.”
A spokesperson from the county said voting was suspended at the five locations and added the county is going to court for an emergency order to extend voting hours at the affected polling places.
The locations include a church, two libraries, a community center and a senior center. These bomb threats are in addition to the threats called in at other counties in Georgia that a US official told CNN were suspected to have originated from Russia and deemed non-credible.
Meanwhile, one senior Democrat in the state tells CNN they are tracking threats in Atlanta right now, but the hope is that any voters who were apprehensive will return to vote.
