Dozens of election offices in Minnesota have received bomb threats since Friday, the Minnesota secretary of state's office announced on Tuesday. . . . The threats were received by email .

"Although Election Day is over, election officials across the state are continuing their work to verify that the election was free, fair, accurate, and secure. Over the next few weeks, counties will be canvassing the election, certifying election results, and conducting post-election reviews."

. . . [MN Secretary of State Steve] Simon has was targeted in September when the secretary of state's office received a letter with a white powdery substance from a group calling itself the United States Traitor Elimination Army. More than 20 other states received envelopes from that group. The substance turned out to be harmless.

"United States Traitor Elimination Army" - how ironic. Projection. Or latent suicidal ideation.

Thanks to any and all election workers, volunteer or paid, that has to (or chooses to) work in these circumstances. Except for MAGAT ones.
