Russian Bomb Threats Disrupt U.S. Election Day, But Security Holds Firm

Bomb threats linked to Russia targeted polling stations in key states, causing minimal disruptions without affecting election integrity.

False bomb threats believed to originate from Russia were reported in Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Arizona.
The threats led to temporary evacuations and delays in voting, particularly in Democratic-leaning areas, but did not compromise the election's integrity.
U.S. cybersecurity officials confirmed the election infrastructure remained secure, praising the resilience of election workers.
The FBI and U.S. intelligence agencies have accused Russia of attempting to sow discord through disinformation and cyberattacks.
Despite the threats, Georgia reported a record voter turnout, and election officials ensured that polling places remained open longer to accommodate delays.
