E-Mailed Bomb Threats Target Minnesota Election Offices

E-mailed bomb threats have targeted more than half of Minnesota’s election offices since Nov. 8.

St. Louis county has not been targeted, though, according to a county spokesperson Tuesday night.

Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon issued the following statement:

“Threats of violence against election workers, aimed at disrupting our democracy, are absolutely unacceptable. 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.”

Simon said his office is working with local, state and federal partners to make sure those responsible for the threats are held accountable.
