I looked up 3 other articles by local Tv & newspaper and nothing in those either.
No one should be threatened. But where are the threatening messages? What incident at her house? Police reports? This just doesnt sound right to me. She lost all but 1 county in the last race she ran against him, and she also caught a lot of flack for being an "internet psychic" whatever that is.
Yes, there are no doubt some idiot crazies out there, but when stories like this are posted, there really should be some proof of the allegations.
