(TheProudRepublic.com) – In a shocking twist, a former Georgia poll worker has been indicted for allegedly mailing bomb threats to election officials.
See the tweet below.
Nicholas Wimbish, who previously worked as a poll worker in Jones County, Georgia, now faces serious charges for allegedly sending a bomb threat to the county’s Elections Superintendent.
The incident, which occurred just before Election Day, has sent shockwaves through the community and raised concerns about the safety of the electoral process.
According to the FBI, Wimbish mailed the threatening letter on October 17, following a verbal altercation with a voter the previous day.
This timeline suggested a potentially wicked motive, as Wimbish conducted online research to see what information about himself was publicly available before sending the threat.
The letter, which the man crafted to appear as if it came from a concerned “Jones County Voter,” included alarming threats against himself and other poll workers.
It warned that they “should look over their shoulder” and ominously mentioned a “boom toy” in the voting place.
Even more troubling, investigators claimed to have found the threatening letter on Wimbish’s computer, suggesting a premeditated and calculated attempt to disrupt the electoral process.
Adding to the severity of the situation, Wimbish allegedly lied to the FBI during their investigation, falsely asserting that the letter was sent by the Jones County voter and denying that he had conducted any online research.
The indictment against Wimbish includes charges of mailing a bomb threat, conveying false information, mailing a threatening letter, and making false statements to the FBI.
If convicted, he faces up to 10 years in prison for the bomb threat charge alone, with an additional five years for each of the other charges.
