A study by the nonpartisan Brennan Center for Justice at New York University, of dozens of election officials in various states, showed that at least one person feels unsafe at work, and one in six employees report being threatened because of their work.
These employees say that these threats continue, despite the passage of months since the presidential elections.
Gabriel Stirling, the election official in Georgia, which received the lion’s share of these threats, is surprised by the media uproar surrounding him and his colleagues after receiving these threats, even though he has for years performed his work as a supervisor of the voting system without being noticed by anyone.
Gabriel adds: “It is the most bureaucratic and administrative work,” but now he has found himself in the circle of accusations of electoral fraud within his surroundings, even though he is a Republican.
Gabriel says that it did not stop there, because he receives messages and calls late at night that include threats to put him in prison or I told him.
Senior and junior election officials were not spared these threats , neither them nor their families.
