"I am a hunter -- and I think you should be hunted," a woman can be heard saying in a voicemail left for Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs in September. "You will never be safe in Arizona again."
Or there's the man who spit, "Die you bitch, die! Die you bitch, die!" repeatedly into the phone, in another of several dozen threatening and angry voicemails directed at the Democratic secretary of state and shared exclusively with CNN by her office.

"Bullet," read one tweet reply to Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold, a Democrat, in September. "That is a six letter word for you."
An email sent to her office over the summer read: "I'm really jonzing to see your purple face after you've been hanged."
Asked by CNN last week if she feels safe in her job and going about her days, Griswold paused for nearly 30 seconds before answering.
"I take these threats very seriously," she finally said, choosing her words carefully. "It's absolutely getting worse," she added.

"When I'm at the center of a national QAnon conspiracy and the very people who have stormed the Capitol are threatening me, it is very concerning. When someone says they know where I live and I should be afraid for my life, I take that as a threat and I believe the state of Colorado should, too," Griswold said.

The situation got so bad for Jocelyn Benson, Michigan's Democratic secretary of state, that during periods when the threats against her have spiked and gotten specific, she has received periodic 24-hour police protection. But when that security dropped off, the threats continued. Benson had dozens of people show up outside her house last December while she sat inside with her husband and young son, on the phone with the Michigan attorney general who was trying to scramble a police response. It ended up taking authorities 45 minutes to arrive on scene."
And idiots want Trump back in office so he can complete turning America into the cesspool he started work on in 2017.

When you go in to buy your gun, don't tell them you're a liberal. They may not sell you one.
Minus Eff Jay,
I don't post anything that's reported in The Gateway Pundit. Jim Hoft is known as the "Dumbest Man on the Internet," and many of his claims have proved to be false. He's a nincompoop, but you read him. Good luck with that. Nothing from that site will be posted here.
Your second link about Wisconsin has this in its report:
"...a complaint the office received of potential violations of state election law."
I'm not impressed.
Shaw... and by entension -FJ.
"...a complaint the office received of potential violations of state election law."
Potential violations?
Officer, I'm reporting a potential bank robbery. A potential breaking and entering. A potential murder.
Professor, that student over there potentially stole my paper.
And finally, to the NFL referee, I'd like to report a potential penalty by that defensive guard.
In all those potential cases, as in the 2020 election, you need evidence. Pure and simple.
Now I know you're gonna land on the "but we need time to investigate" defense. But ask yourself this... if someone goes to the police and reports that they potentially saw you, you -FJ, murder someone who was reported missing, should they put you in jail without evidence?
Of course not.
And that is how our system works. Innocence is presumed unless there is proof.
Unless of course, you are the current GOP or a member of the conservative class.
Conservatism and Ignorance are now considered synonymous. At least they ought to be. Given the likes of trump and what now passes as conservatism.
True RN and that's a shame, imo. True conservatives actually have some good ideas, I believe. Not that ANYTHING conservative exists in today's GQP. It's not conservative nor liberal, it's pure fascist. The kind our grandparents fought so hard against that they became known as 'the Greatest Generation'. I'm glad most of them are now gone. I'd hate to see what they would do knowing the GOP of today has thrown away and stomped on their legacy for a cheap. lying conman.
