CERTIFICATION OF LOCAL ELECTION RESULTS WAS MET WITH PROMISE OF HARM
WH (52) of San Diego, California, is alleged to have contacted an election official back on November 29, 2022, and left threatening voicemails on that individual’s cell phone.
After the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors certified the 2022 local general election results, WH is said to have left a message wherein he purportedly said, “Run, [expletive].” About a minute later, he left another message wherein he allegedly indicated, “You wanna cheat our elections? You wanna screw Americans out of true votes? We’re coming, [expletive]. You’d better [expletive] hide.”
In a written statement, Acting Assistant Attorney General Nicole M. Argentieri of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division, noted that, “The Criminal Division is committed to aggressively investigating and prosecuting individuals who threaten election officials. We will not tolerate criminal intimidation of those who administer and safeguard our elections.”
If convicted, WH faces up to five years in prison.
An indictment is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
Think he gets the message?
