(NewsNation) — Election results in Cochise County, Arizona were delayed after a bomb threat at the elections office in Bisbee on Tuesday.
Employees in the office are safe, and the building was evacuated, Cochise County officials said.
Cochise County Sheriff Mark Dannels said his team sent in two dogs to search and clear the elections office following the bomb threat, which came in through email. The sheriff says nothing was discovered in the building.
This comes after bomb threats, later deemed noncredible by the FBI, were also reported in Georgia, Michigan, Arizona and Wisconsin. The FBI said the hoax threats in these states appeared to originate from Russia.
Dannels told NewsNation the Cochise County Sheriff’s Office has not yet connected the threat received by the Bisbee office to the ones happening across the country.
KOLD reports that threats were also made against election offices in Pima and Navajo counties. The Tucson Police Department and the bomb squad checked out the Pima County Recorder’s Office and the Pima County Elections Department and said these were not credible threats, according to KOLD.
