Polling locations in Georgia's Fulton County received 32 bomb threats, with five of them leading to temporary closures, according to the county's police chief, Wade Yates. Earlier, the FBI said hoax bomb threats were directed at polling locations in four battleground states, including Georgia, with many appearing to originate from Russian email domains. - REUTERS

00:00We planned heavily for the incident of a bomb threat being called in and it's a good thing we
00:05did because that's the only thing that happened today was 32 bomb threats at different polling
00:11locations. We were able to clear 27 of them very quickly without the need for an evacuation.
00:19Five of them, the polls were temporarily closed down at the poll manager's request while we
00:24conducted the sweep and they were reopened. We don't know where the threats came from at this
00:31point and it is an active investigation but we do intend on doing our best to locate who
00:38made the threats and prosecute them fully.
