Brad Raffensperger campaign rally canceled after bomb threat at Georgia airport

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger's gubernatorial campaign rally was canceled on Tuesday after a bomb threat was reported at Middle Georgia Regional Airport in Macon. Authorities dispatched a bomb squad and K-9 unit, which discovered a suspicious object near a vending machine that was determined to be non-threatening. The NY Post reported that a four-page manifesto naming Raffensperger was sent prior to the incident.
