Polling places in Democratic-leaning areas of five swing states received bomb threats that officials said likely came from Russia.

Hoax bomb threats, many of which appeared to originate from Russian email domains, were directed on Tuesday at polling locations in five battleground states - Georgia, Michigan, Arizona, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania - as Election Day voting was underway,

Election Day in Pennsylvania saw a huge voter turnout, though bomb threats were called into some polling places. Numerous polling sites across the state received bomb threats throughout the day, prompting officials to call law enforcement to investigate.
