The Dems should use this in an ad, broadcast all over the country, but especially where election deniers are on the ballot. I’m thinking the arrest photo itself here will tell some tales.

Pro tip: include some photos of the Oklahoma City bombing and Timothy McVeigh. Seriously. This is the type of thing the election deniers are fomenting, well beyond theats. No evidence, nobody who will actually say thay participated in vote rigging, just bluster. sad

Kinda makes you wonder what changed to make this come about now. I imagine the guy reported it soon after it happened. The phone companies have all their data in real time. So what changed?

Funny how this stuff doesn’t work, but the morons keep doing it anyway. Probably the same guys who take pictures of their guns pointed at their johnsons.

Oh, there’s also the whole problem of using violence or threat of violence to achieve political ends. There’s a word for that, isn’t there?

Something along these lines?

Take two
Okay

You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it’s evolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world

But when you talk about destruction
Don’t you know that you can count me out (in)

Don’t you know it’s gonna be
All right?
Don’t you know it’s gonna be (all right)
Don’t you know it’s gonna be (all right)

You say you got a real solution
Well, you know
We’d all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well, you know
We’re all doing what we can

But if you want money for people with minds that hate
All I can tell you is brother you have to wait

Don’t you know it’s gonna be (all right)
Don’t you know it’s gonna be (all right)
Don’t you know it’s gonna be (all right)

You say you’ll change the constitution
Well, you know
We’d all love to change your head
You tell me it’s the institution
Well, you know
You better free your mind instead

But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao
You ain’t going to make it with anyone anyhow

Don’t you know it’s gonna be (all right)
Don’t you know it’s gonna be (all right)
Don’t you know it’s gonna be (all right)

All, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all right
All right, all right, all right, all right, all right

More please.

Until MAGA Republican foot soldiers understand that we will identify and prosecute every single death threat, they will continue making those threats.

Biden has just opened up extra space in Club Fed too.

My first thought is, How stupid do you have to be to make a threat in such a way that there’s evidence of the threat, though the real question is, WTF is wrong with you that you want to threaten someone’s life over political differences?

Remember the DoJ is working furiously…just furiously on that other case involving trump that by now is more than a year and a half old (allowing for a few months after leaving the White House so he could go thru his pile of documents and decide which were the valuable ones. So it isn’t surprising that a threat call to an election official would languish for a year.
And this n00b let himself be recorded for posterity. Or rather. evidence against him in his own voice which would be hard to spin.
