Georgia Poll Worker Arrested for Threatening to Bomb Election Workers, Per DOJ
The DOJ has reported a Georgia poll worker was arrested on the eve of Election Day after allegedly mailing a letter to the Jones County Elections Superintendent threatening to harm poll workers.
While serving as a poll worker, Nicholas Wimbish, 25, of Milledgeville, Georgia, got into a verbal altercation with a voter at the Jones County Elections Office on October 16.
In the evening after the altercation occurred, Wimbish wrote a bomb threat to the Jones County Elections Superintendent pretending to be the voter he got into an altercation with earlier.
Prosecutors allege that in the letter, Wimbish wrote in a way where he attempted to frame the voter, such as writing that “Wimbish had given me hell” and that “Wimbish was conspiring votes.”
In the letter’s closing, Wimbish wrote, “PS boom toy in early vote place, cigar burning, be safe.”
Wimbish has been charged with “mailing a bomb threat, conveying false information about a bomb threat, mailing a threatening letter, and making false statements to the FBI.”

Per The DOJ:’
A Georgia poll worker was arrested today for mailing a letter to the Jones County Elections Superintendent threatening poll workers.
According to the criminal complaint, Nicholas Wimbish, 25, of Milledgeville, Georgia, was serving as a poll worker at the Jones County Elections Office on Oct. 16 when he allegedly had a verbal altercation with a voter. Later that evening, Wimbish conducted online research to determine what information about himself would be publicly available. The following day, Wimbish mailed a letter addressed to the Jones County Elections Superintendent, purportedly from a “Jones County Voter.”
The letter was allegedly drafted to make it appear as if it came from the voter, such as by stating that Wimbish had “give[n] me hell” and that Wimbish was “conspiring votes” and “distracting voters from concentrating.” The letter threatened that Wimbish and others “should look over their shoulder,” that “I know where they go,” that “I know where they all live because I found home voting addresses for all them,” and that the “young men will get beatdown if they fight me” and “will get the treason punishment by firing squad if they fight back.”
Further, the letter threatened to “rage rape” the “ladies” and warned 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 is charged with mailing a bomb threat, conveying false information about a bomb threat, mailing a threatening letter, and making false statements to the FBI.
If Wimbish is convicted, he faces a maximum sentence of 25 years in Federal prison.
