Hoax bomb threats at U.S. election polling stations linked to Russia: officials

Phoney bomb threats that appeared to originate in many cases from Russian email domains targeted polling locations across several U.S. states on Tuesday, according to American officials. At least two polling sites targeted by hoax bomb threats in the election battleground state of Georgia were briefly evacuated and re-opened after approximately 30 minutes. Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said in an Atlanta update that Russia has “picked on the wrong Georgia” and that they will not “be intimidated.”
