From this two-year pilot study, BDI finds three key findings: (1) Bomb threats in Georgia surged during the 2024 election cycle disproportionately impacting Black voting precincts, (2) Bomb threat patterns revealed several trends in demographic vulnerability, namely for Black cities within white and multiracial counties, and (3) The number of threats in 2025 is currently outpacing previous years.

Threats and harassment against local officials rose in June.

In total, more than 250 incidents have been reported in the first half of 2025, up 9% from the same period in 2024.
