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.

1. I cannot and will not ever understand

How the Republican establishment at nearly every level is backing these thugs among them. In the last 40 years, the GOP has twisted up what they want to call a "conservative" into something nearly unrecognizable I didn't expect anything at this level.


I have a cousin who is still saying Nancy Pelosi invented the Covid so she could cheat DJT out of re-election and should be shot for treason. He's not afraid to list Governors who were "disloyal" right next to her. In any other world we'd be booking a rubber room for him. These days that kind of insanity seems to be the norm for anyone still willing to stick an "R" next to their name on the voter rolls.
