Georgia employee accused of making bomb threats against election workers

Department of Justice (DOJ) CHARGED a Georgia election worker on Monday for writing a fake bomb threat letter targeting election workers that he allegedly sent to the Jones County superintendent of elections.

The employee, identified as 25-year-old Nicholas Wimbish, was charged with sending a bomb threat, providing false information about a bomb threat, sending a threatening letter and making false statements to the FBI, after claiming to be Jones County. voter in a letter claiming there was a “boom toy” at an early voting location.

Wimbish allegedly got into a verbal altercation with a voter on Oct. 16, then posed in the voter to complain about himself and make threats against him and his fellow pollsters.

The letter alleged that Wimbish gave voter “hell” and “conspired votes” and “distracted voters from concentration,” the DOJ said. The writer also said that Wimbish and his fellow workers should “look over their shoulder” because he “know(s) where they’re going.”

Wimbish also allegedly researched information about election officials and poll workers that was publicly available, and wrote that he knew “where they all live because I found home voting addresses for all of them.” He also threatened physical violence against male poll workers, who “would be punished for treason by firing squad if they retaliated.”

The letter also threatened women survey workers with “rage rape”.

The FBI’s Atlanta office is handling the investigation into the case, which is still ongoing, and Wimbish faces up to 25 years in prison if convicted.
