“You will vote for Trump on Election Day or we will come after you,” said one threatening email sent to Democratic voters, according to prosecutors."
"Seyyed Mohammad Hosein Musa Kazemi, 24, and Sajjad Kashian, 27, are charged with conspiracy to commit fraud against the U.S., computer fraud, voter intimidation, and transmission of interstate threats."
“You are currently registered as a Democrat and we know this because we have gained access into the entire voting infrastructure. You will vote for Trump on Election Day or we will come after you.”
“Change your party affiliation to Republican to let us know you received our message and will comply,” the email went on to say. “We will know which candidate you voted for. I would take this seriously if I were you.”

Just curious... What influence effect do you think they were trying to accomplish?
1. To actually Intimidate Democrats to vote for Trump?
2. Create a bigger perception through overt provocative threats that there is a collaborative effort from the ultra-right to intimidate voters into voting for Trump (knowing it would likely get reported as such by the mass media)?
Considering Trump is certainly no friend of the Iranian government and how the Obama and now Biden admins are much more willing to grant them so many compromises WRT to their nuclear research (regardless of how much or little you think that consists of)... Why would they ever favor Trump?
