MADISON, Wis. (AP) - Voting is back to normal at Madison East High School after a bomb threat there today.

State Elections Board executive director Kevin Kennedy says voting stopped there late this morning so a search could be conducted.

Kennedy says city elections workers asked for and received permission to move the voting outside.

Madison police spokesman Carlos Valentin says nothing was found in the search, and the voting was allowed to resume in the school after about three hours.

As a result, polls there will stay open an hour later, or until 9 p.m.

Madison school district spokesman Joseph Quick says the bomb threat was against the school, rather than the polling place.

He says students were taken to an athletic field about a block and a half from the school after the threat, and the voting was temporarily moved to an outdoor patio between the main school building and an athletic field house.
