Re: Just how Crazy is Donald Trump!
Trump-inspired death threats terrorize election workers
Election officials and their families are living with threats of hanging, firing squads, torture and bomb blasts, interviews and documents reveal. The campaign of fear, sparked by Trump's voter-fraud falsehoods, threatens the U.S. electoral system.
Trump-inspired death threats are terrorizing election workers
Late on the night of April 24, the wife of Georgia’s top election official got a chilling text message: “You and your family will be killed very slowly.”
A week earlier, Tricia Raffensperger, wife of Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, had received another anonymous text: “We plan for the death of you and your family every day.”
That followed an April 5 text warning. A family member, the texter told her, was “going to have a very unfortunate incident.”
Those messages, which have not been previously reported, illustrate the continuing barrage of threats and intimidation against election officials and their families months after former U.S. President Donald Trump’s November election defeat. While reports of threats against Georgia officials emerged in the heated weeks after the voting, Reuters interviews with more than a dozen election workers and top officials – and a review of disturbing texts, voicemails and emails that they and their families received – reveal the previously hidden breadth and severity of the menacing tactics.
...
“It was unbelievable: your life being threatened just because you’re doing your job.”
Ralph Jones, election registration chief, Fulton County
...
“It seemed like we were descending into this third-world mentality. I never expected that out of this country.”
Richard Barron, Fulton County elections director
...
In a 2017 report, the federal U.S. Election Assistance Commission found that 65% of jurisdictions across the country reported that it was “very difficult” or “somewhat difficult” in the 2016 election to recruit enough poll workers. The pandemic exacerbated that problem last year. To address it, some states such as Maryland opened fewer polling places.
State governments play other roles, setting election-related rules, such as mail-in ballot requirements, and making sure they’re followed. State election officials run voter registration databases, test and certify voting equipment, and sometimes buy voting machines used across their state.
Twenty-four states – from Georgia to California – have an elected secretary of state as the chief election official, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL). In some states, the elected lieutenant governor is the chief election official. In others, the chief election official is appointed by the legislature or governor. In all but Delaware, the chief election official is called the secretary of state, according to the NCSL. (In Delaware, the position is Commissioner of Elections.)
The federal government’s role has traditionally been minor but was expanded after the disputed 2000 presidential election to include setting standards for how elections are run. That includes, for instance, setting rules on the use of provisional ballots for people whose eligibility is questioned and advising states how to maintain voter registration databases. Other functions include providing money for voting equipment, helping states recruit poll workers and monitoring foreign interference.Comment

Re: Just how Crazy is Donald Trump!
... Trump’s relentless false claims that the vote was “rigged” against him sparked a campaign to terrorize election officials nationwide – from senior officials such as Raffensperger to the lowest-level local election workers.
The intimidation in Georgia has gone well beyond Raffensperger and his family. Election workers - from local volunteers to senior administrators - continue enduring regular harassing phone calls and emails, according to interviews with election workers and the Reuters review of texts, emails and audio files provided by Georgia officials.
One email, sent on Jan. 2 to officials in nearly a dozen counties, threatened to bomb polling sites: “No one at these places will be spared unless and until Trump is guaranteed to be POTUS again.” The specific text of the threat has not been previously reported. The email, a state election official said, was forwarded to the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), which declined to comment for this story.

Re: Just how Crazy is Donald Trump!
Remember when Mad Maxine Waters said this,...“If you see anybody in that cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd. And you push back on them. And you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere..”??
Pepperidge Farm Remembers.
But, she's a democrat, and as long as she was calling for violence against Trump officials, it was all perfectly fine with the democrat party and liberals.
As long as we are going down this road, I'll provide a few more examples.
-Our election was hijacked. There is no question. Congress has a duty to #ProtectOurDemocracy - Nancy Pelosi (Sounds similar to Trump's words......where's the outrage for Piss-Losi?)
-Another little tidbit from Pelosi, “I’m counting down the hours ‘til he’s gone. I plan to pull him out of there by his hair, his little hands and his feet,”. Incitement/ glorification of violence, but not condemned at all for saying it. SMH!
-“He better have an army if he thinks he’s gonna walk down the street in New York. New Yorkers don’t want to have anything to do with him, he can’t have enough bodyguards to walk through New York City.” - New York Governor andrew cuomo - Sounds like someone wanted to hurt or kill the president! And, since he's a democrat, he gets away with saying it. Strange.
-“I want to tell you, Gorsuch. I want to tell you, Kavanaugh. You have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions,” - Chuck Schumer talking about supreme court justices. Was he "widely condemned" for this statement? Not a chance! His democrat minions stood behind him and cheered.
-“And so it’s time for everybody to stand up. All hands on deck to refuse this president these fake emergency powers that he would like to have. And so I’m urging everybody get together —rally in every community across this country all this weekend, send a message to Washington, D.C., ‘No, Mr. President, we’re not going allow you to do this,” - Another Mad Maxine Quote. I find this one especially funny though....she screams about "fake emergency powers", yet her democrat counterparts all had their own "fake emergency powers" (such as changing voting laws).
- "You know, there needs to be unrest in the streets for as long as there’s unrest in our lives and unfortunately there’s plenty to go around,” Rep. Ayanna Pressley said.
This one's a Doozy! From the mouth of our current vice president "knee-pads", who was speaking about cities being destroyed and innocent people attacked.
-“They’re not gonna stop, and everyone beware, because they’re not gonna stop. They’re not gonna stop before Election Day in November, and they’re not gonna stop after Election Day. Everyone should take note of that, on both levels, that they’re not going to let up — and they should not. And we should not."
So, if you're going to say our president "incited violence", then you need to stand up and say that these representatives/ officials also incited violence.OmertÃComment

Re: Just how Crazy is Donald Trump!
... you are so lost in your sad little world of right wing hate that you are trying to equate a few spoken words to actual country wide physical intimidation that causes election workers to ether quit their jobs, go into hiding or not volunteer.
There are a lot of right wing nut jobs in the USA who see overt threats of violence as a means of replacing the current gov't or making sure it is not re-elected.Comment

Re: Just how Crazy is Donald Trump!
The only one lost in a sad little world is you. You are the one who equated a few spoken words to actual physical intimidation.
FYI, recent developments are proving that President Trump was correct about wide spread election fraud in the November 2020 general election.Last edited by slimslob; 06-14-2021, 06:43 PM.Comment

Re: Just how Crazy is Donald Trump!
Your last post claimed that "a few spoken" words (from Trump) was an incitement to violence against election officials and such. So, why is it that my post about democrat leaders ACTUALLY calling for violence (a few spoken words) and telling people to fight isn't the same thing????
Are you going to tell me that those representatives/ officials words didn't incite "country wide physical intimidation"??? If so, I want what you're smoking!!!
You do realize that Republican representatives/ officials/ election workers/ police have also had to move from their homes or quit their jobs due to threats, and acts of violence from democrats and the left?
Can you say....
-Minneapolis
-Portland
-D.C.
-Seattle
-New York?
You have just given everyone here proof of how far left you really are, and that you are seemingly fine with people dying or being hurt, as long as it's a "Trump Supporter".
People have literally died because of those democrats' words, and all you can do is sit there and say "But, but, but,.....Orange Man Bad!"
You're a fucking joke!OmertÃComment

there have been numerous election auditors in AZ and GA that have had to move from their houses because of threats of bodily harm .. vandalism ... being stalked all because they point out problems found during the audit..
currently the auditors from PA & GA are/have visited AZ audit proceedings to watch how the process is finding issues with the machines/process.
GA has identified a bunch of ballots that were not folded ( to fit in an envelope ) and have been photocopied ..clearly making those ballots suspicious of fraud.Comment
