Tuesday's historic election went smoothly, for the most part. But voting was disrupted in some swing states by phony bomb threats.

As President Trump secured a historic comeback, the FBI blamed Russia for phony bomb threats in battleground states like Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin.

Bomb threats target election

None of the bomb threats nationwide turned out to be legitimate. Voting hours were extended in multiple states to accommodate voters impacted by the threats.

The threats led to evacuations at some polling places, including two locations in Fulton County, Georgia, where Atlanta is located. The two locations were re-opened after half an hour.

Locations were also targeted in DeKalb, another Democratic stronghold in the Atlanta area. Georgia's Republican Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger, pointed the finger at Russian operatives.

“They’re up to mischief, it seems. They don’t want us to have a smooth, fair and accurate election, and if they can get us to fight among ourselves, they can count that as a victory,” he said Tuesday morning.

The FBI also issued a statement alleging that Russian "email domains" targeted the election.

"None of the threats have been determined to be credible thus far," the FBI said.

Trump ends the night fast

Despite sporadic threats and some issues with ballots, the presidential election was over rather quickly - especially compared to 2020, which took almost a week of counting mail-in ballots to declare Joe Biden the winner.

President Trump won a commanding victory Tuesday night that was clear before many Americans went to sleep, although mainstream media organizations took their sweet time acknowledging the reality.

In an incredible triumph, Trump swept the battleground states and put himself on track to win the popular vote. Vice president Kamala Harris finally called Trump to concede on Wednesday, after snubbing her own dejected supporters on Election Night.

While many Americans expected political unrest heading into the election, the nation seems relatively calm, and liberals are despondent but seemingly resigned to Trump's historic comeback.

During his first term, President Trump was falsely accused of colluding with Russia to steal the 2016 election.

The Russian government denied trying to interfere with America's democracy after Tuesday's threats.

"We would like to emphasize that Russia has not interfered and does not interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, including the United States," the Russian embassy said in a statement. "As President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly stressed, we respect the will of the American people."
