Politicians became the target of threats following Michigan’s fairly-conducted election after Republicans cried foul and challenged the result. Joe Biden won the state and the G.O.P. could not provide any evidence of widespread election fraud.
While the legal challenges are over, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel says her office is still investigating threats of violence.
“There's a lot that goes into having to trace where the threats are coming from. And so that is sort of time exhaustive, and it takes a lot of electronic investigative activity. And so that is what we're in the process of doing on a number of cases.”
The intimidation is ongoing. Democratic Representative Laurie Pohutsky shared an email recently that was sent to her and her colleagues threatening a -quote- “mass execution of public officials” should Donald Trump not be kept as president.
