(TheProudRepublic.com) – Exposing the vulnerability of America’s electoral system, a Georgia poll worker has been arrested for allegedly sending a bomb threat to fellow election workers.
25-year-old poll worker Nicholas Wimbish in Jones County, Georgia, was taken into custody after allegedly mailing a threatening letter to the county’s Elections Superintendent.
The letter, which Wimbish sent under the guise of a “Jones County Voter,” contained violent threats against poll workers, including bomb threats and promises of physical harm.
According to authorities, the incident stemmed from a verbal altercation Wimbish had with a voter.
Instead of addressing the issue professionally, the man took matters into his own hands, crafting a letter in which he accused himself and other poll workers of “conspiring votes” and distracting others.
The contents of the letter included threats of “rage rape” against female poll workers and warned of a “boom toy” at an early voting location. It concluded with a chilling postscript that read, “PS boom toy in early vote place, cigar burning, be safe.”
Moreover, the Justice Department’s Election Threats Task Force, established in June 2021, is handling the case.
This task force was created to address the growing number of threats against election workers, a troubling trend that undermines the very foundation of the democratic system.
Wimbish now faces multiple charges, including mailing a bomb threat and making false statements to the FBI. If convicted, he could spend up to 25 years behind bars.
Ironically, prior to this incident, Wimbish had been recognized in a local university publication for his achievements and intentions to contribute to democratic processes as a poll manager.
As today is a crucial day for the country, Americans deserve nothing less than a free, fair, and secure electoral process.
