"Multiple bomb threats have been reported at voting precincts in Michigan, with all of them deemed to be non-credible.
That was the word from Michigan secretary of state spokesperson Angela Benander during a 3 p.m. media briefing on the status of voting across the state.
“Can confirm that we have had reports of some bomb threats at a few polling locations. They were all investigated and confirmed to be non-credible,” said Benander. “As far as Russia ties, we have been notified that that is what they believe has happened, that they’ve come from Russia, that they’re swatting attacks, and that they are all non-credible. And there’s no concern for safety at those polling places because they’ve been cleared by MSP (Michigan State Police).”
Benander could not provide specific locations or how many precincts were affected.
Similar bomb hoaxes were also reported at precincts in Georgia, as well as Maine, with the FBI issuing a press release."
