Georgia polling stations will stay open after getting shut down by bomb threats

• At least five polling stations in Georgia will stay open later after bomb threats disrupted voting.
• The non-credible threats are linked to Russia, the FBI said.

Nine voting stations in metro Atlanta will stay open later after non-credible bomb threats momentarily disrupted voting, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. The bomb threats were emailed to precincts in Fulton and Gwinnett Counties and seem to be linked to Russia, according to law enforcement.

The FBI issued a statement about the threats, saying that they "appear to originate from Russian email domains. None of the threats have been determined to be credible thus far."

Polls were scheduled to close at 7:00 p.m. in Georgia, one of seven swing states that will likely decide who takes the White House.

It is not yet clear whether locations in DeKalb County that temporarily evacuated will be able to stay open past 7 p.m. A church, two libraries, a community center, and senior center are among the impacted polling sites in the county.

A judge ruled on Tuesday that two locations in Gwinnett County will keep their doors open until 7:58 p.m. In Cobb County, two polling stations will be open for an additional 20 minutes.
