US POLLS: Who Is The Georgia Poll Worker Arrested For Allegedly Creating Bomb Hoax? Deets Inside

A Georgia poll worker has been taken into custody for allegedly creating a fake bomb threat letter to frame a voter with whom he had previously argued. Nicholas Wimbish, a 25-year-old from Milledgeville, is accused of drafting the false threat to implicate the voter involved in their earlier confrontation.

According to a publication, Wimbish was arrested on November 4, just one day before the election, and the investigation included federal authorities. The Justice Department reported that Wimbish, who was on duty at the Jones County Election Office in Gray last month, had an argument with a voter that escalated into this incident.

Details of the Fabricated ‘Bomb Threat’ Letter

The day following the disagreement, Wimbish allegedly authored a letter pretending to be from a “Jones County Voter” and sent it to the election superintendent. Prosecutors stated that the letter falsely accused Wimbish of tampering with votes and causing distractions for voters, ending with a warning to “watch their backs.”

The letter implied that the fictional voter knew the addresses of those involved, as it claimed, “I know where they all live because I have access to home voting addresses.”

Wimbish purportedly used these statements to shift suspicion to the voter with whom he had a dispute. Court records indicated that when speaking with investigators, Wimbish attempted to point the blame toward this voter for the fabricated threat.

The letter concluded ominously with: “PS boom toy in early vote place, cigar burning, be safe,” according to prosecutors.

Charges Against Wimbish

Wimbish is now facing multiple charges, including making false statements to FBI agents, sending a bomb threat via mail, disseminating false bomb information, and issuing a threatening letter.
