Asked whether the bomb threats had any impact on voter turnout or the performance of election officials, Raffensperger said, "None. We worked through it. Battle-tested."

"That just shows you the resilience of our system and our people," he said.

The state also had a record 4 million early voters, according to Raffensperger.
