Anti-Trump Election Worker Accused Of Mailing Bomb Threat To GA Polling Location

A poll worker in Georgia has been charged with mailing in a bomb threat to a state polling location and attempting to pin the crime on a voter.

On Monday, federal authorities arrested 25-year-old Nicholas Wimbish, a graduate student from Milledgeville, Georgia, who is accused of mailing in a bomb threat to the polling location. He is facing charges of mailing a bomb threat, conveying false information about a bomb threat, mailing a threatening letter and making false statements to the FBI, according to a press release from the FBI’s Atlanta field office. If convicted, he faces a maximum of 25- years in federal prison.

Wimbish worked as a poll worker at the Jones County Elections Office in Gray, Georgia, located about 88 miles southeast of Atlanta.

The office received a threatening letter, which was typed on October 22, 2024, according to court documents obtained by USAToday.

Wimbish is believed to have written the letter the day after he allegedly got into a verbal altercation with a voter, who was not identified, after they claimed that Wimbish and another poll worker were distracting voters waiting in line to cast their ballots early. Wimbish googled the voter’s name that same day, and later Googled nearby post offices shortly after 1 a.m. the next day.

“Based on my investigation, I believe that Wimbish conducted the Google search on his own name to confirm what information was available about him and other poll workers online,” James Maxwell, a special agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, wrote in the criminal complaint filed against Wimbish. “I believe that Wimbish wrote the letter pretending to be [the voter,] because the letter references Wimbish and [the other poll worker] ‘distracting voters,’ the same complaint that [the voter] voiced the day before the letter was dated.”

The day after the letter was received at the polling location, Wimbish attempted to pin the threat on the disgruntled voter he had an altercation with.

On Monday, the same day the 25-year-old was taken into custody, the FBI searched Wimbish’s computer and found a document titled “BOOM TOY” that was dated October 18, court documents revealed. A copy of the letter was also found in his printer.

The letter referred to Wimbish as a “young liberal woke idiot,” and accused him of trying to “influence peoples votes in line,” USAToday reported. The later further stated that the writer was “on the hunt” for Wimbish and another poll worker for “fu**ing up my ballot.”

“Your woke liberal should look over their shoulder I have to do whatever it takes for [unspecified candidate] to win Georgia,” the letter reportedly stated. It concluded with reference to a “boom toy,” which is believed to be slang for an explosive device.

While Wimbish is a registered Republican, he has shared several anti-Trump posts on X.

“A Georgia voter told Fox today ‘Although I am a conservative, I did not vote for Donald Trump because the values he is representing are not mine,'” reads one post that was shared by Wimbish.

He also referred to Trump voters as “classless,” shared a post from Filipowksi that referred to a Trump supporters as “racist, misogynist, nut job followers,” reposted MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell, and celebrated Trump’s conviction in Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s hush money case.
