Bomb threats were called in to five voting locations in Georgia’s DeKalb County, as well as two other locations that are not polling places, according to a press release by the county, which says police are performing bomb sweeps at the seven locations, reports. “Every asset that we have will be deployed to ensure that every citizen who wants to vote will be given that opportunity and every vote cast will be counted,” DeKalb County CEO Michael Thurmond said in the release. DeKalb County’s Office of Voter Registration and Elections said that voting has been suspended at the polling places. “Out of an abundance of caution, we are suspending voting at these polling locations until we have clearance from DeKalb Police to reopen the facilities,” said DeKalb Voter Registration and Elections Executive Director Keisha Smith in the release, which also said the county is going to court for an emergency order to extend voting hours at the affected polling places. The locations include a church, two libraries, a community centre and a senior centre.
