In a shocking revelation, a Georgia poll worker was apprehended on the brink of Election Day, following allegations of mailing a threatening letter to the Jones County Elections Superintendent, with the intent to harm fellow poll workers.
The accused, Nicholas Wimbish, 25, hailing from Milledgeville, Georgia, was reportedly involved in a verbal spat with a voter at the Jones County Elections Office on October 16.
As reported by Gateway Pundit, the incident took a sinister turn when Wimbish, later that evening, penned a bomb threat to the Jones County Elections Superintendent, impersonating the voter he had earlier clashed with. The prosecutors have claimed that the letter was meticulously crafted to implicate the voter, with phrases such as Wimbish had given me hell and Wimbish was conspiring votes.
The letter took an ominous tone towards the end, with Wimbish writing, PS boom toy in early vote place, cigar burning, be safe. Following this incident, Wimbish has been indicted with charges of mailing a bomb threat, conveying false information about a bomb threat, mailing a threatening letter, and making false statements to the FBI.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) confirmed the arrest of the Georgia poll worker, stating that he had mailed a threatening letter to the Jones County Elections Superintendent, putting the safety of poll workers at risk. The criminal complaint against Wimbish details his actions on October 16, when he allegedly engaged in a verbal altercation with a voter while serving at the Jones County Elections Office.
The complaint further elaborates that Wimbish, following the altercation, conducted online research to ascertain what information about him was publicly accessible. The subsequent day, he mailed a letter to the Jones County Elections Superintendent, purportedly from a Jones County Voter.
The letter was allegedly designed to frame the voter, with statements such as Wimbish had give[n] me hell and that Wimbish was conspiring votes and distracting voters from concentrating. The letter also contained threats that Wimbish and others should look over their shoulder, that I know where they go, and that I know where they all live because I found home voting addresses for all them.
The letter further threatened to rage rape the ladies and cautioned them to watch every move they make and look over their shoulder. The letter concluded with a handwritten note, PS boom toy in early vote place, cigar burning, be safe.
Wimbish now faces charges of mailing a bomb threat, conveying false information about a bomb threat, mailing a threatening letter, and making false statements to the FBI. If convicted, Wimbish could potentially face a maximum sentence of 25 years in Federal prison. This incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of maintaining decorum and respect in the electoral process, and the severe consequences of breaching these principles.
