Reports that phony bomb threats sent to voting places in Georgia, Michigan, Arizona, and Wisconsin—four states that are key battlegrounds in the US election—came from Russian email domains and were part of an intervention campaign have been labeled as “malicious slander” by Moscow.
On Tuesday, a number of Georgia voting places that were the focus of the panic were momentarily closed.
In a statement, the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) stated that many of the phony bomb alerts “seem to originate from Russian email domains,” adding that “none of the threats have been determined to be credible thus far.”
According to an FBI official, Georgia got over two dozen threats, the majority of which came from Fulton County, a Democratic Party stronghold that includes part of Atlanta.
