The Department of Justice is investigating the case of a man named Michael Lee, who allegedly threatened Colorado and Arizona election officials. Lee allegedly made threats via social media, including a video where he threatened to “blow up” the Colorado Secretary of State’s office. The case underscores the growing concern over election security and the potential for violence.
The task force, which was formed in response to the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol, has been actively working to identify and prosecute individuals who threaten election officials. This is a crucial step in ensuring the integrity of elections and protecting the democratic process.
The Brennan Center for Justice, a non-profit legal organization, conducted a survey of 1,000 election workers across the country. The survey revealed that 45% of election workers who experienced threats on the job did not report them to law enforcement. This finding highlights a concerning trend of underreporting of threats against election officials. **Detailed Text:**
