For several years now, President-elect Donald Trump has expressed concerns that corrupt and partisan election officials and poll workers could engage in fraudulent activities that have the potential to unfairly influence or alter election results.

Trump's concerns have been validated after a former poll worker in Georgia was arrested and charged with making a fraudulent bomb threat against the polling location they worked at just days before the election, The Macon Telegraph reported.

The threat, falsely made as though it came from an angry voter, could potentially land that former poll worker behind bars for a quarter of a century.

Poll worker mailed bomb threat to own polling location

According to a Justice Department press release on Wednesday, former Jones County poll worker Nicholas Wimbish, 25, of Milledgeville, was initially arrested on Nov. 4, one day before the election, on suspicion that he had mailed a false bomb threat to his own polling location and made other threats against his coworkers.

Wimbish is reported to have engaged in an argument with a voter on Oct. 16, after which he conducted online research on himself later that evening and, the following day, sent a threatening letter to the polling location that was made to appear as though it had come from the voter he'd previously had a dispute with.

The letter made several accusations against Wimbish and suggested that he and other poll workers "should look over their shoulder" because the alleged author knew "where they go" and "where they all live because I found home voting addresses for all them."

The letter further threatened that male poll workers "will get beatdown if they fight me" or face a "firing squad" for "treason," while female poll workers were threatened with "rage rape," while all were warned to "watch every move they make and look over their shoulder."

The typed letter also contained a handwritten note that added, "PS boom toy in early vote place, cigar burning, be safe."

Faces up to 25 years in prison if convicted on all counts

Per the DOJ release, when FBI investigators questioned Wimbish about the incident, he falsely insisted that the angry voter he fought with had made the threat and denied any involvement. Yet, investigators determined that he'd conducted the online research of himself and found a copy of the threatening letter on his personal computer.

Wimbish has now been criminally indicted for "mailing a bomb threat, conveying false information about a bomb threat, mailing a threatening letter, and making false statements to the FBI."

He faces the potential of up to 10 years in prison for mailing the bomb threat and up to five years each for the other three charged crimes, if convicted and sentenced to the maximum penalty for each count.

 A college graduate student who tried to frame a voter he argued with

According to The Jones County News, Wimbish has been identified as a college student in Milledgeville who is believed to have been attempting to exact revenge against the voter he'd quarreled with by attempting to frame that voter as the individual behind the bomb threat.

Newsweek reported that Wimbish's work at a polling location in Jones County was also confirmed by Elections Superintendent Marion Hatton, who told the outlet that "Nicholas has worked with us putting in over 200 internship hours."

It is unclear what Wimbish's ideological alignment is, but his now-deleted X profile previously stated that he was a "graduate student, outspoken, avid traveler, follower of Christ, and loyal friend," per the outlet.
