FILE - Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold speaks during a news conference in Denver on Oct. 15, 2020. A Nebraska man pleaded guilty Thursday, June 16, 2022, to making death threats against Griswold in what officials say is the first such plea obtained by a federal task force devoted to protecting elections workers across the U.S. who have been subject to increasing threats since the 2020 presidential election.
“Threats of violence against election officials are dangerous for people’s safety and dangerous for our democracy, and we will use every resource at our disposal to disrupt and investigate those threats and hold perpetrators accountable,” Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a statement.
