_ Law enforcement has taken little action as backers of Donald Trump
aim stark threats at election officials. Reuters tracked down nine of
the harassers. Most were unrepentant. _

,

 

In Arizona, a stay-at-home dad and part-time Lyft driver told the
state’s chief election officer she would hang for treason. In Utah,
a youth treatment center staffer warned Colorado’s election chief
that he knew where she lived and watched her as she slept.

In Vermont, a man who says he works in construction told workers at
the state election office and at Dominion Voting Systems that they
were about to die.

“This might be a good time to put a f‑‑‑‑‑‑ pistol in
your f‑‑‑‑‑‑ mouth and pull the trigger,” the man
shouted at Vermont officials in a thick New England accent last
December. “Your days are f‑‑‑‑‑‑ numbered.”

The three had much in common. All described themselves as patriots
fighting a conspiracy that robbed Donald Trump of the 2020 election.
They are regular consumers of far-right websites that embrace
Trump’s stolen-election falsehoods. And none have been charged with
a crime by the law enforcement agencies alerted to their threats.

They were among nine people who told Reuters in interviews that they
made threats or left other hostile messages to election workers. In
all, they are responsible for nearly two dozen harassing
communications to six election officials in four states. Seven made
threats explicit enough to put a reasonable person in fear of bodily
harm or death, the U.S. federal standard for criminal prosecution,
according to four legal experts who reviewed their messages at
Reuters’ request.

“This might be a good time to put a f‑‑‑‑‑‑ pistol in
your f‑‑‑‑‑‑ mouth and pull the trigger ... Your days are
f‑‑‑‑‑‑ numbered.”
ANONYMOUS THREAT TO VERMONT ELECTION OFFICIALS

These cases provide a unique perspective into how people with everyday
jobs and lives have become radicalized to the point of terrorizing
public officials. They are part of a broader campaign of fear waged
against frontline workers of American democracy chronicled by Reuters
this year. The news organization has documented nearly 800
intimidating messages to election officials in 12 states, including
more than 100 that could warrant prosecution, according to legal
experts.

The examination of the threats also highlights the paralysis of law
enforcement in responding to this extraordinary assault on the
nation’s electoral machinery. After Reuters reported the widespread
intimidation in June
[[link removed]],
the U.S. Department of Justice launched a task force 
[[link removed]]to
investigate threats against election staff and said it would
aggressively pursue such cases. But law enforcement agencies have
made almost no arrests
[[link removed]] and
won no convictions.

In many cases, they didn’t investigate. Some messages were too hard
to trace, officials said. Other instances were complicated by
America’s patchwork of state laws governing criminal threats, which
provide varying levels of protection for free speech and make local
officials in some states reluctant to prosecute such cases. Adding to
the confusion, legal scholars say, the U.S. Supreme Court hasn’t
formulated a clear definition of a criminal threat.

For this report, Reuters set out to identify the people behind these
attacks on election workers and understand their motivations.
Reporters submitted public-records requests and interviewed dozens of
election officials in 12 states, obtaining phone numbers and email
addresses for two dozen of the threateners.

Reuters was able to interview nine of them. All admitted they were
behind the threats or other hostile messages. Eight did so on the
record, identifying themselves by name.

In the seven cases that legal scholars said could be prosecuted, law
enforcement agencies were alerted by election officials to six of
them. The people who made those threats told Reuters they never heard
from police.

All nine harassers interviewed by Reuters said they believed they did
nothing wrong. Just two expressed regret when told their messages had
frightened officials or caused security scares. The seven others were
unrepentant, with some saying the election workers deserved the
menacing messages.

Ross Miller, a Georgia real-estate investor, warned an official in the
Atlanta area that he’d be tarred and feathered, hung or face firing
squads unless he addressed voter fraud. In an interview, Miller said
he would continue to make such calls “until they do something.”
He added: “We can’t have another election until they fix what
happened in the last one.”

The harassers expressed beliefs similar to those voiced by rioters
who stormed the U.S. Capitol on January 6, trying to block Democrat
Joe Biden’s certification as president. Nearly all of the
threateners saw the country deteriorating into a war between good and
evil – “patriots” against “communists.” They echoed
extremist ideas popularized by QAnon, a collective of baseless
conspiracy theories that often cast Trump as a savior figure and
Democrats as villains. Some said they were preparing for civil war.
Six were in their 50s or older; all but two were men.

They are part of a national phenomenon. America’s federal elections
are administered by state and local officials. But the threateners are
targeting workers far from home: Seven of the nine harassed officials
in other states. Some targeted election officials in states where
Trump lost by substantial margins, such as Colorado – or even
Vermont, where Biden won by 35 percentage points.

“These people firmly believe in the ‘Big Lie’ that the former
president legitimately won the election,” said Chris Krebs, who ran
the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency at the Department
of Homeland Security. Krebs was fired by Trump last year for declaring
that the 2020 election had been conducted fairly. By terrorizing
election officials, he said, they’re effectively acting as Trump’s
“foot soldiers.” 

A Trump spokesperson did not respond to requests for comment.

Representative John Sarbanes, a Maryland Democrat, introduced
legislation in June to make it a federal crime to intimidate, threaten
or harass an election worker. The bill, which has not come up for a
vote, followed a Reuters investigation into such threats published the
same month.

“I think we’re on a dangerous path,” Sarbanes said last week
when told the threats were continuing with little law enforcement
intervention. “We want there to be some effective and sustained push
back on this kind of harassment.”

YOU’RE “ABOUT TO GET F‑‑‑‑‑‑ POPPED”

Only one of the nine harassers Reuters interviewed wouldn’t reveal
his identity: the man threatening Vermont officials. Before reporters
started examining him, law enforcement officials had decided against
investigating, as many other agencies have done in similar cases
nationwide.

Late last year, between Nov. 22 and Dec. 1, he left three messages
with the secretary of state’s office from a number that state police
deemed “essentially untraceable,” according to an internal police
email obtained through a public-records request. The man identified
himself as a Vermont resident in one voicemail.

Police didn’t pursue a case on the grounds that he didn’t threaten
a specific person or indicate an imminent plan to act, according to
emails and prosecution records. State police never spoke with the
caller, according to interviews with state officials, a law
enforcement source and a review of internal police emails.

Reuters did.

Reporters connected with him in September on the phone number police
called untraceable. In five conversations over four days spanning more
than three hours, he acknowledged threatening Vermont officials and
described his thinking.

He soon grew agitated, peppering two Reuters reporters with 137 texts
and voicemails over the past month, threatening the journalists and
describing his election conspiracy theories.

The man telephoned the secretary of state’s office again on Oct. 17
from the same phone number used in the other threats. This time he was
more explicit. Addressing state staffers and referring to the two
journalists by name, he said he guaranteed that all would soon get
“popped.”

“You guys are a bunch of f‑‑‑‑‑‑ clowns, and all you
dirty c‑‑‑suckers are about to get f‑‑‑‑‑‑
popped,” he said. “I f‑‑‑‑‑‑ guarantee it.”

The officials referred the voicemail to state police, who again
declined to investigate. Agency spokesperson Adam Silverman said in a
statement that the message didn’t constitute an “unambiguous
reference to gun violence,” adding that the word “popped” –
common American slang for “shot” – “is unclear and
nonspecific, and could be a reference to someone being arrested.” 

Legal experts didn’t see it that way. Fred Schauer, a University of
Virginia law professor, said the message likely constituted a criminal
threat under federal law by threatening gun violence at specific
individuals. “There’s certainly an intent to put people in
fear,” Schauer said.

After Reuters asked Vermont officials about the October threat, the
Federal Bureau of Investigation began an inquiry into the matter,
according to two local law enforcement officials.

The FBI declined to confirm or deny any investigation into that threat
and others reported in this story. In a statement, the bureau said
it takes such acts seriously, working with other law enforcement
agencies “to identify and stop any potential threats to public
safety” and “investigate any and all federal violations to the
fullest."

‘I’M A PATRIOT’

Many of the harassers have been radicalized by a growing universe of
far-right websites and other sources of disinformation about the 2020
election. Like Trump, they bashed mainstream news outlets and cast
them as complicit in an elaborate scheme to steal the election.

Jamie Fialkin of Peoria, Arizona, talked of a grand conspiracy of
those controlling the media, the banking system and social media
companies. “When you have those three things, you can get away with
anything – you can tell people, ‘black is white, white is
black,’ and people go, ‘OK,’” Fialkin said.

On the surface, nothing about Fialkin’s biography suggests
extremism. A former stand-up comedian from Brooklyn, New York,
Fialkin said he has a degree in actuarial science, the study of
insurance data. In 2017, he self-published a book marketed as a
“survival guide” for first-time older parents. The 54-year-old
said he spends most days taking care of his two young daughters and
driving part-time for Lyft.

At a 2006 comedy show, he poked fun at his “professional bowler”
physique, balding head, and inability to play golf. The self-described
Orthodox Jew also took aim at Palestinians and described his political
views as “a little more to the right.”

Fialkin said in an interview that he’s no longer in a joking mood.

He believes America is headed for civil war. He endorsed Trump’s
false claims that millions of fraudulent votes swung the election to
Biden. He said he’s convinced that former President Barack Obama,
a Democrat, and progressive philanthropist George Soros bought fake
ballots from China, another debunked theory promoted by Trump’s
allies.

Fialkin blamed one person in particular for Trump’s Arizona loss:
Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, the state’s top election official.
On June 3, Fialkin called Hobbs’ office and left a message saying
she’d hang “from a f‑‑‑‑‑‑ tree.”

“They’re going to hang you for treason, you f‑‑‑‑‑‑
bitch,” Fialkin said.

Minutes later, Fialkin left another voicemail in which he recommended
a “good slogan” for Democrat Hobbs’ campaign for governor:
“Don’t vote for me, for one reason. Back in December, I got hung
for treason.”

Fialkin said he never intended to harm Hobbs, but was unapologetic.

“I’m not denying anything,” he said, “because I’m a
patriot.”

Fialkin said he changed his Republican voter registration to
independent because the party didn’t fight hard enough for Trump.

“I’m like most Americans,” he said. “We’re just waiting to
see when the civil war starts.”

Fialkin’s messages were part of a barrage targeting Hobbs. Two
others came from Jeff Yeager, a 56-year-old self-employed electrician
from Los Angeles, California. Yeager, too, called for her execution.

“When Katie the c‑‑‑ is executed for treason, what are you
f‑‑‑‑‑‑ traitors going to be doing for work?” Yeager
said in a June 17 voicemail left for Hobbs and her staff. Months
later, on Sept. 8, he left another voicemail warning she’d be
executed.

“When Katie the c‑‑‑ is executed for treason, what are you
f‑‑‑‑‑‑ traitors going to be doing for work?”
VOICEMAIL LEFT BY JEFF YEAGER ON JUNE 17 FOR ARIZONA SECRETARY OF
STATE KATIE HOBBS

Yeager acknowledged leaving the messages and said he didn’t care if
Hobbs felt threatened. “If she thinks that I’m a threat to her,
I’m not,” he said. “But the public is going to hang this
woman.”

Yeager said he sees the mainstream media as full of disinformation; he
called Reuters “one of the most evil organizations on the planet.”
He said he gets his news from “alternative websites that are not
censored,” including social network Gab and Bitchute, a
video-sharing site known for hosting far-right figures and conspiracy
theorists. 

“Everything we’re being told is a lie,” he said.

In an interview, Hobbs said the threats by Fialkin, Yeager and others
have been “emotionally draining” for her and her staff. The
messages from Fialkin and Yeager were sent to the FBI, her
spokesperson said. Some threats triggered a security detail, Hobbs
said.

Jared Carter, a Cornell University law professor specializing in
constitutional free-speech issues, said the threats by both men could
be prosecuted under federal law. “In light of the multiple
voicemails from the same person, and the overall tone of the messages,
a court could find them to be true threats,” Carter said.

Election administrators such as Hobbs are part of a broader array of
public officials targeted by Trump supporters. The day before Yeager
spoke with Reuters in September, he said, two FBI agents visited him
at his Los Angeles home to discuss threats he made to two national
politicians: Republican Senator Mitt Romney and Democratic House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi, both of whom denounced Trump for inciting the
January 6 insurrection. He said the FBI agents produced transcripts of
his calls to Pelosi and Romney. Yeager said the transcripts quoted him
as saying “we will kill you.”

The agents instructed him how to lawfully express his political views,
Yeager said, and left without arresting him. “I’m not making any
more calls to anybody,” he said. “I may have crossed the line in
one sentence, but I’m no danger to anybody.”

Spokespeople for Romney and Pelosi declined to comment on Yeager’s
threats.

INSPIRED BY TRUMP

Others who threatened election officials told Reuters they were
directly inspired by Trump or his prominent allies, who have
denounced specific election offices nationwide for allowing voter
fraud, turning them into targets.

‘BE AFRAID’: A screenshot of Eric Pickett’s Facebook threat to
Colorado’s chief elections officer

Eric Pickett, a 42-year-old night staffer at a youth treatment center
in Utah, said his anger boiled over after watching an Aug. 10 “cyber
symposium” held by pillow magnate Mike Lindell, a Trump ally who has
pushed false election conspiracy theories.

Pickett said he paid close attention as one of the symposium’s
speakers, Tina Peters, a Republican clerk in Colorado’s Mesa County,
criticized Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold, a Democrat.
Griswold has been leading an investigation into Peters over a
voting-system security breach in Mesa, one of the state’s most
conservative counties. At the symposium, Peters, an election-fraud
conspiracy theorist, claimed Griswold “raided” her office to
produce false evidence and “bully” her.

None of that was true, according to state officials. Nonetheless,
Pickett snapped. He got on Facebook and sent Griswold a message.

“You raided an office. You broke the law. STOP USING YOUR TACTICS.
STOP NOW. Watch your back. I KNOW WHERE YOU SLEEP, I SEE YOU SLEEPING.
BE AFRAID, BE VERRY AFFRAID. I hope you die.”

A Griswold spokesperson said the August message was promptly
referred to state and federal law enforcement. The threat
was reported by Reuters in September.

Pickett said in an interview that he “got wrapped up in the
moment.” He was surprised Griswold found the message threatening and
expressed regret for causing alarm.

“I didn’t know they would take it as a threat,” he said. “I
was thinking they would just take it as somebody just trolling
them.”

Colorado State Patrol, in response to a records request, said they had
no investigative reports on the threat. A spokesperson, Sergeant Troy
Kessler, said the State Patrol reviewed all messages it received from
Griswold’s office and that no one had been arrested.

Three legal experts said the message met the threshold of a threat
that could be prosecuted under federal law. “The whole purpose of
the threats doctrine is to protect people from not only a prospect of
physical violence, but the damage of living with a threat hanging over
you,” said Timothy Zick, a William & Mary Law School professor.

Lindell and Peters did not respond to requests for comment.

TARRED AND FEATHERED

Trump’s stolen-election claims about Georgia, traditionally a
Republican stronghold, have sparked some of the most serious election
threats.

In a Dec. 10 hearing organized by Georgia Republican lawmakers, Trump
lawyer Rudy Giuliani played a short snippet of surveillance footage
from Atlanta’s State Farm Arena, which was used as a tabulation
site. He claimed it showed Fulton County election workers pulling out
suitcases full of fraudulent ballots in Biden’s favor. State
investigators and county officials have said the “suitcases” were
standard ballot containers and the video shows normal vote-counting.

“I left the message because I’m a patriot, and I’m sick and
tired of what’s going on in this country… That’s what happens
when you commit treason: You get hung.”
ROSS MILLER, EXPLAINING WHY HE TOLD A GEORGIA ELECTION OFFICIAL HE
COULD BE EXECUTED

Ross Miller, the real-estate investor in Forsyth County, Georgia, saw
the video. He left a Dec. 31 voicemail for Fulton County Elections
Director Richard Barron, saying he “better run” and that he’ll
be tarred and feathered and executed unless “ya’ll do
something” about voter fraud. Barron forwarded the threat to police,
according to a county email.

However, Fulton County Police Chief Wade Yates said his agency did not
contact Miller after concluding the message did not constitute a
threat under Georgia law.

In an interview, Miller acknowledged making the call.

“I left the message because I’m a patriot, and I’m sick and
tired of what’s going on in this country,” he said. “That’s
what happens when you commit treason: You get hung.”

Miller, who said he was in his sixties, said he’s been kicked off
Twitter seven times for his views. He follows “Tore Says,” a
podcast popular with QAnon adherents whose host, Terpsichore
Maras-Lindeman, has called for a “revolutionary movement.”

“You’ve got to stand up,” said Miller. “You’re either a
patriot for the freedom of this country or you’re a
communist against it.”

‘YOU’RE ALL F‑‑‑‑‑‑ DEAD’

Some Vermont officials questioned why the man intimidating state
officials wasn’t investigated or prosecuted, highlighting a broader
national debate over how to respond to post-election threats. In a
pattern seen across America, Vermont law enforcement officials decided
this man’s repeated menacing messages amounted to legally protected
free speech.

The threatener focused on one of the central conspiracy theories
promoted by Trump and his allies: That officials had rigged
vote-counting technology from Dominion Voting Systems to flip millions
of votes to Biden.

“Just let everybody know that their days are f------ numbered,” he
said in a Dec. 1 voicemail. “There are a lot of people who are going
to be executed.”

“There are a lot of people who are going to be executed.”
THE VERMONT THREATENER IN A DEC. 1 VOICEMAIL

Around that time, officials at Dominion’s headquarters in Colorado
received three unsettling voicemails. “You’re all
f‑‑‑‑‑‑ dead,” said one message. “We’re going to
f‑‑‑‑‑‑ kill you all.” The caller’s telephone number
and voice matched those on the Vermont threats.

The threats to Dominion were referred to the Denver Police
Department and the FBI. Denver police failed to identify the caller, a
department spokesperson said.

The Vermont secretary of state’s office is located in a historic
19th-century brick Queen Anne-style house in the capital of
Montpelier. The staff helps register voters and administer elections
in a state with one of America’s lowest rates of violent crime. The
voicemails terrified some staffers.

“I had to try to calm people down,” Secretary of State Jim Condos
said in an interview. “We were all on edge.”

After the Dec. 1 threats, Vermont Deputy Secretary of State Chris
Winters expressed astonishment that police wouldn’t pursue the
caller, according to emails between secretary-of-state officials and
police obtained through a records’ request.

“I am trying to make sense of this,” Winters wrote in an email to
Daniel Trudeau, the criminal division commander of the Vermont State
Police. “If someone makes a veiled threat to come to the Secretary
of State’s office and execute only the guilty ones on the election
team, without naming names, they’ve not broken the law?” Winters
added that he wanted to know “who we’re dealing with.”

Trudeau replied that he had consulted with other officers and
didn’t see a crime, because the caller did not specify that he would
come to the secretary of state’s office and did not say that he
personally would execute anyone.

Vermont’s state police intelligence unit tried but failed to
identify the caller. Police examined the number, which bore a Vermont
area code, but said it was untraceable, according to an email between
state police officials. The unit’s commander, Shawn Loan, wrote to
Trudeau saying that the threats could be part of a “larger
campaign” and the calls “may have been scripted.” He added that
the caller used voice-over-internet technology. Two former FBI agents
said such calls can be harder to trace than those made from landlines
or cellular phones.

Loan was not immediately available for comment, a spokesperson said.

Vermont State Police didn’t pursue the threatener. Rory Thibault,
the state’s attorney in Washington County, which includes
Montpelier, supported Trudeau’s decision in a four-page Dec. 15 memo
to state police. The messages were “protected speech,” Thibault
wrote, because they were not “directed at a single person or
official.” They were “conditional” on a “perception of
malfeasance in the election process,” and the caller didn’t
indicate he would personally inflict harm, he said.

Zick, the William & Mary professor, said a threat doesn’t
necessarily have to single out a specific individual to be prosecuted
under federal law. If someone calls in a bomb threat to Congress
rather than to a specific senator’s office, for instance,
“that’s still a threat.”

In an interview, Thibault said Vermont laws pose unique challenges for
pursuing such cases because they offer greater protections for
individual rights than federal laws. He added that the threats and the
rise of extremist rhetoric are leading to a push for tougher
anti-harassment laws.

Vermont State Representative Maxine Grad said she plans to introduce a
bill in the January session aimed at broadening protections for people
who have received criminal threats, such as election workers.

On Dec. 16, a day after the state’s attorney ruled out an
investigation, the unidentified caller taunted Vermont election
officials in a new voicemail. “All the traitors will be punished”
in the “next few weeks,” he said. “Kill yourself now.”

This time, the caller used a different number that appeared to be a
pre-paid “burner” phone.

Montpelier Police Chief Brian Peete was concerned. “Very
disturbing,” he wrote to state police, security and secretary of
state officials after reviewing the Dec. 16 threat. “Fits profile
of someone who may act.”

Again, state police declined to investigate because the caller
didn’t threaten a specific individual, according to police emails.

The phone numbers used by the caller left few clues about his
identity. One reverse phone lookup service linked his number to
Bennington, a town of about 15,000 people in southwest Vermont.
Denver police couldn’t identify the caller, but found “decent
information” linking the number to Bennington, according to a Denver
Police Department report on the threats to Dominion.

Surrounded by the Green Mountains, the Bennington area is known for
its picturesque farm houses, a towering Revolutionary War battle
monument and blazing autumn foliage. Less known is that the rural,
mostly white town and other parts of southern Vermont have seen a rise
in Trump-inspired militia activity in recent years, residents and
state officials say.

In April, the town agreed to pay a $137,500 settlement to Kiah Morris,
the state legislature’s only black female elected official, who
resigned in September 2018, following complaints that Bennington
police failed to properly investigate racially motivated harassment
against her. Morris declined to comment for this story.

The calls from the still-unidentified man threatening election
officials and reporters were referred to the FBI, according to police
emails.

Reuters first reached the man on Sept. 17. In a brief interview, he
referenced the Dominion conspiracy theory. Asked for his name, he
swore and hung up.

A week later, the journalists contacted him again on the same number.
He admitted leaving the voicemails to express his “absolute
dissatisfaction” in the election. In three subsequent phone
interviews on Oct. 6 and 7 that spanned a total of two and a half
hours, he opened up about his views.

The man said he believed thousands of fake ballots were cast in
Arizona, repeating debunked claims. He said members of the media would
face tribunals and be executed like the Nazi leaders who were hung
after the Nuremberg trials in the 1940s and that perpetrators of
election fraud would be sent to military prison.

He said he lived “in the woods,” and worked in construction. He
didn’t own a gun, but said he had “a baseball bat and a
machete.” He shared videos from the far-right website Bitchute and
said he watched “all kinds of stuff that definitely needs to be
investigated.”

Then he turned on the Reuters journalists.

In an Oct. 11 voicemail, he threatened to sue the reporters for
obtaining his telephone number from state records. Over the next 25
days, he texted them 91 times, sharing misinformation on the origins
of the coronavirus and other conspiracy theories. On Oct. 17, he left
the new voicemails at the Vermont secretary of state’s office,
including the one threatening that the reporters and election staffers
would get “popped.”

The next morning, the caller followed up with more texts to the
journalists. “I am going to destroy you and that is a threat.” In
multiple texts, he said he would “ruin” the life of one of the
reporters. On Oct. 30, he left two more voicemails for them. “You
are all going to f‑‑‑‑‑‑ hang. I’m going to make sure
of it,” said one. “Bad s‑‑‑ is gonna to happen to you,”
said the other. “Your days are f‑‑‑‑‑‑ numbered.”

He also sent the reporters four messages with the same picture: a
grainy black-and-white photograph of a public execution that has
been shared widely in far-right social media, with a caption claiming
it showed “members of the media” hanging in “Nuremberg,
Germany.” (In fact
[[link removed]], the
photo was taken in Kiev, Ukraine, depicting Nazi officers being hung
for war crimes.)

‘MEMBERS OF THE MEDIA’: The Vermont threatener also sent the
Reuters reporters this photograph, of a World War II era public
execution in Ukraine, incorrectly saying it depicted a hanging of
“members of the media.”

The man’s threats and the rise in extremism in Vermont and
nationwide since the election are a concern for Peete and his small
staff in the Montpelier Police Department.

“It’s something that keeps me and all of us here up at night,”
the police chief said.
