Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger told reporters Tuesday that the false threats that briefly disrupted voting at two polling places originated in Russia.
"We heard some threats that were Russian in origin," Raffensperger said, adding that "in the interest of public safety, we always have the situation under monitoring and will continue to be very responsive when we hear about things like this."
The secretary did not elaborate on how exactly state officials determined the bomb threats came from Russia.
The non-credible threats prompted the temporary closure of polling places in Union City, outside Atlanta, according to Fulton County police. Union City's population is nearly 90% black, according to the US Census Bureau.
