Bomb threats and fake Russia-related videos on Election Day

deep diving – Throughout Election Day and a long election night, there was one big story that had nothing to do with the results at the ballot box.

Polling places in at least five battleground states were the target of bomb threats on Tuesday, “many of which appeared to come from Russian email domains,” the FBI said. Although the office found no evidence of actual bombings, there were dozens of threats, many of which led to evacuations and delays or disruptions to voting. Taken together, the hoaxes represented a stunning moment for a U.S. election: bomb threats traced to another country and aimed at disrupting the American electoral process.
