Militia members gathered around the Georgia Capitol in Atlanta, as Pro-Trump rioters in DC attempted to take matters into their own hands and prevent Congress from certifying President-elect Joe Biden’s electoral college win by storming the US Capitol.
Capitol Police escorted the Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and his staff out of the building, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.
Supporters of Donald Trump attempted to enter the building to deliver “written grievances” about Mr Trump’s November loss.
Deputy Secretary of State Jordan Fuchs said: “We heard reports of threats and left immediately.”
Mr Fuchs told ABC News that the people gathering at the parking deck at the Capitol were members of a militia.
