Former Georgia poll worker indicted in bomb threats against election workers

A former Georgia poll worker has been indicted after reportedly issuing a bomb threat against election workers, the Justice Department said in a press release Wednesday.

In the release, the department said 25-year-old Nicholas Wimbish was indicted after allegedly mailing a letter threatening poll workers and for lying to the FBI.

In mid-October Wimbish got into “a verbal altercation with a voter” at the Jones County Elections Office. He then allegedly searched online to find “information about himself” that “would be publicly available.”

Wimbish, a day later, then allegedly mailed a letter to the county’s election superintendent from a “Jones County Voter,” including a bomb threat.
