Georgia: election locations threatened at voting time

Voters in Georgia are deciding today which party will be the United States Senate with a couple of second-round elections. Votes come after president-elect Joe Biden’s narrow victory in the state, marking the first time a Democratic presidential candidate has won the state this century. .

Just days after a debatable phone call between President Donald Trump and Georgian Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, Georgian officials are back expressing their fear of the protection of the electorate and election workers.

On Monday, at a press conference with state-leading election official Gabriel Sterling, he revealed that polling stations had faced uns specified threats, but that Sterling gave details about the nature of the threats.

“There have been more coordinated efforts with local law enforcement to sweep and look around and I’m going into too many details, but we feel comfortable the moment the vote is done safely and appropriately,” Sterling said.

On Sunday, the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office revealed that several emails had been sent to officials reporting threats to polling stations. sites in the county.

Previously, Sterling had criticized those claiming that the November election had been manipulated, adding that “someone is going to get hurt. Somebody’s going to get shot. Someone’s going to be killed, and that’s not right. “

Sterling, to whom he and Raffensperger had been targeted by violent threats, added that his wife had gained threats of sexual violence.

In the month of a press convention, Sterling denounced the theories of the electoral conspiracy.

“I don’t have the most productive words to do it because I’m angry,” Sterling said. As I did their job, in fact, I spoke to Dominion today and said, “He’s one of the most productive they have. “His circle of relatives has been harassed lately. There’s a rope with your call. That’s not right. I can’t start to the point of anger I have right now for that. Similarly, I deserve to have the same point of anger.

Despite Trump’s unfounded claims that the November election robbed him and amid threats of violence, Sterling encouraged state citizens to vote.

“I said if there’s been (electoral fraud) at your center, the most productive thing you can do is vote and make theft more complicated for them,” Sterling said this week. Actually at your center, participate and vote. There are others who fought and died, marched, prayed, and voted for the right to vote. Throw it away because you feel it might not matter is self-destructive, ultimately and a self-fulfilling prophecy at the end.
