Georgia GOP voting manager says threats against election official led to unloading on Trump

Source: MSN/The Hill

A top Republican elections official in Georgia said Sunday that threats against another official led to his unloading on President Trump during a press conference last week.

Georgia voting systems manager Gabriel Sterling told NBC News's "Meet the Press" that he was informed of threats against a contractor in Gwinnett County that sparked his fiery remarks directed at the president during the press briefing.

"What for lack of a better word set me off on Tuesday was about an hour before or an hour and a half before a previously scheduled news conference, I got a call from the project manager from Dominion Voting Systems out of Colorado who was telling me in a very audibly shaken voice that one of their contractors had received some threats in Gwinnett County," said Sterling, who voted for Trump in the election.

"When I was going through the Twitter feed on it, and I saw it basically had the young man's name, which was a very unique name, so they tracked down his family and started harassing them," he added.

for years.

For example, have a look at this from Stacey Abrams' Fairfight.com website:

The GA elections officials giving impassioned speeches about election integrity have yet to give impassioned speeches about the hundreds of thousands of voters purged from the rolls, the previous voting machines and the new ones & new epollbooks which have many vulnerabilities as well.
