Original Note:
Out of all polling stations that received threats, only two shut down. Of the two that shut down, they were shut down for thirty minutes and allowed to get back in line. The FBI did not count the threats as credible and encouraged stations to stay open — almost all did. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/fake-bomb-threats-linked-russia-briefly-close-georgia-polling-locations-2024-11-05/ https://www.fbi.gov/news/press-releases/fbi-statement-on-bomb-threats-to-polling-locations https://www.forbes.com/sites/alisondurkee/2024/11/06/election-day-bomb-threats-swing-states-face-threats-blamed-on-russia-heres-what-we-know/
