Summary
Georgia poll worker Nicholas Wimbish, 25, has been charged with mailing a bomb threat to local election officials and making false statements to the FBI.
After a verbal altercation with a voter, Wimbish allegedly sent a threatening letter impersonating that voter, warning of physical and sexual violence against poll workers and concluding with a bomb threat.
If convicted, he faces up to 25 years in prison. The case is part of the DOJ’s Election Threats Task Force, which aims to protect election officials from intimidation and uphold election integrity.
On what appears to be his X, formerly Twitter, profile, Wimbish describes himself as a "graduate student, outspoken, avid traveler, follower of Christ, and loyal friend."
Yup. Sending bomb threats is what Jesus would do
Another problem with the "voter fraud is rampant" rehtoric is idiots like this think they too can get away with anything.
That's why they have the retoric in the first place.
It's a feature; not a bug!
Not a problem. They lose one voter (if the conviction sticks) and strengthen the fanaticism of their victimization narrative. To them, that says that the deep state just covers up for the antifa, and suppresses their voice.
Federal crime. 5 years in an orange jumpsuit
If convicted, he faces a maximum penalty of 25 years in prison.
25, not 5. I hope he gets the maximum. Aside from juts the threat, if his plan had worked he might have gotten an innocent person locked up for a quarter century.
Sadly, not too surprising in a kind of unstable country that is partially under the control of Russia.
Oh wait, it's the other Georgia...
Oh wait, it still kinda tracks...
FAFO, asshole
Sending good vibes to Georgia. Shit's gonna get weird.
Early voted. WFH today. I don't think I want to be out and about.
What the heck is wrong with people...jeez.
Like folks chill a few notches. Ok sure surley voicemails, snarky emails, but threats and terror aren't gettimg anyone on your side. It shouldn't anyway...
