Two-hundred-and-eight days after Joe Biden became just the second Democrat presidential candidate to win Arizona’s electoral votes since 1948, Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs is still getting death threats.
Ms Hobbs, 51, has had to travel with a 24-hour security detail since 7 May, when Governor Doug Ducey assigned Department of Public Safety officers to protect her following her multiple threatening phone calls. One caller asked what she was wearing that day to ensure that she’d be “easy to get”. Another incident involved a videographer from the far-right conspiracy website The Gateway Pundit chasing her and an aide.
She also received police protection for a period immediately after the outcome of the 2020 presidential race became clear, when she brought on expert outside counsel to defend Arizona’s election results against lawsuits filed by various pro-Trump groups, including the state Republican party, who sought to challenge the results on dubious grounds.

As I predicted during this Second Civil War we see the uptick in aggression and violence including the Jan 06 Insurrection. Denying marginalized folks of color the right to vote is psychosocial genocide. One of my articles in this regard is published on Research Gate.

These idiots are only endangering our very system. Honestly, what do they think they can accomplish? Biden is the President. Fake "auditing" of ballots will not and can not change that.
Dictators like Putin are laughing their butts off.
