The Washington Secretary of State’s Office has reported a threat made against a worker as efforts continue to intimidate elections officials and politicians for administering the vote that led to President Donald Trump’s loss.
Republican Secretary of State Kim Wyman’s office learned of the threat over the weekend made against Elections Director Lori Augino.
Augino’s address and some contact information were posted, as well as a photo of her with crosshairs superimposed over it and a note about her leadership role in a national association for elections directors.
State officials have notified the Department of Homeland Security, and the Washington State Patrol is monitoring the situation and assigning personnel as needed.
