Georgia Capitol Police escorted Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and his senior staff as they evacuated from the state Capitol to a secure location. A smaller "Make America Great Again" group attempted to breach to Raffensperger's office to deliver their "grievances" to him, Georgia Public Broadcasting reporter Stephen Fowler tweeted.
The building is now under lockdown, causing officials to cancel an afternoon press conference. "We heard reports of threats and left immediately," spokeswoman Jordon Fuchs told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and his staff were removed from the Capitol about an hour ago as a precaution.

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp is secure as well, with no issues at Cap.
The development followed another "Stop the Steal" rally that contrasted the mayhem that erupted in Washington when thousands of right-wingers stormed the US Capitol to force Congress to suspend the official certification of President-elect Joe Biden's election victory over President Donald Trump.
While outraged about the outcome of the races, the crowd in Georgia was peaceful. Motorists sent supportive honks as state troopers watched from the Capitol grounds.
