They're intimidation tactics are taking a toll on elections volunteers and officials across the country. And seem to be able to levy such threats without repercussions...via E-mail!

We need the equivalent of the FBI Wiseguys to go after them with equal tenacity. If it worked before. Do it again! Threats and intimidation against civilians and their families will not be tolerated! Even if its fostered in Russian media and disseminated into Fox Media outlets.
