Georgia Poll Worker Faces Federal Indictment

News summary

Nicholas Wimbish, a former poll worker from Milledgeville, Georgia, has been indicted for sending a bomb threat to the Jones County Elections Office and lying to the FBI. Wimbish, who had a prior altercation with a voter, allegedly sent a threatening letter in October, posing as a voter, which included threats of violence and a bomb at a polling place. The letter was traced back to Wimbish's computer, and he falsely claimed to the FBI that the voter he had argued with was responsible. The charges against him include mailing a bomb threat, conveying false information, and making false statements, carrying a potential maximum penalty of 25 years if convicted. The indictment was returned by a federal grand jury on November 19, following his arrest on November 4. The case is ongoing, and further details are expected as the investigation continues.
