... A Georgia poll worker was arrested after allegedly mailing a bomb threat to the Jones County Elections Superintendent, targeting fellow election workers. Nicholas Wimbish, 25, of Milledgeville, reportedly had gotten into an argument with a voter while serving at the Jones County Elections Office on Oct. 16, according to a press release from the Department of Justice. According to court documents, later that evening, Wimbish researched online to see what personal information about him might be publicly accessible. The following day, he allegedly sent a threatening letter to the Jones County Elections Superintendent, purportedly from a "Jones County Voter." The letter accused Wimbish of "conspiring votes" and "distracting voters from concentrating," suggesting he had "give[n] me hell." It went on to warn that Wimbish and others "should look over their shoulder," adding, "I know where they go" and "I know where they all live because I found home voting addresses for all them." The threats extended further, with statements such as "the young men will get beatdown if they fight me" and that they would "get the treason punishment by firing squad if they fight back." The letter also made violent threats toward female poll workers, promising to "rage rape" them and advising them to "watch every move they make and look over their shoulder." The letter concluded ominously with, "PS boom toy in early vote place, cigar burning, be safe." ...
