The County of San Diego Registrar of Voters received a bomb threat early Friday evening at its office in Kearny Mesa. Sheriff’s deputies conducted an investigation. They determined the threat was not credible, and those who were in the building were safe.
The safety of County employees and the public is a top priority. The Sheriff’s Office will continue working with law enforcement partners to monitor intelligence and information related to any possible threats, and they are prepared to handle any safety challenges that may arise.
The Registrar of Voters is committed to a safe, transparent and accurate election process and will continue to process remaining ballots to certify election results by Dec. 5. The Registrar expects to use the full certification period to make sure every legally cast vote is added to the count in the most expeditious, yet careful manner available, ensuring accurate results.
This incident was one of several in Southern California. Bomb threats targeting vote counters were also reported in Orange County and in Norwalk.
