Election workers

have gotten death

threats, the U.S.

government says

Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — More than a
dozen people nationally have been
charged with threatening election
workers by a Justice Department unit
trying to stem the tide of violent and
graphic threats against people who
count and secure the vote.
Government employees are being
bombarded with threats even in nor-
mally quiet periods between elections,
secretaries of state and experts warn.
Some point to former President Donald
Trump and his allies repeatedly and
falsely claiming the 2020 election was
stolen and spreading conspiracy the-
ories about election workers. Experts
fear the 2024 election could be worse
and want the Justice Department to
do more to protect election workers. Empty poll kiosks await voters at the Mississippi Second Congressional District Primary election precinct June 7, 2022,
in Jackson, Miss.
