Threats rattle Pennsylvania county targeted in election audit

(Reuters) - One of the Pennsylvania counties targeted in a Republican lawmaker's "forensic investigation" into the 2020 election has beefed up security around its courthouse following threatening posts on social media, one of its commissioners told Reuters.

The incendiary Facebook posts appeared targeted at members of Tioga County's all-Republican board of commissioners after they decided not to comply with the lawmaker's request to turn over their voting machines, Commissioner Erick Coolidge said.

One individual, in an apparent reference to the county's three commissioners, called them traitors and said there were "plenty of trees" in a nearby gorge to "hang ropes from," according to a post viewed by Reuters on a Facebook page.

In response, the law enforcement presence was strengthened around their offices at the courthourse in the town of Wellsboro, Coolidge said, without providing details. The Tioga County sheriff's office did not reply to a request for comment.

"We’ve kind of beefed up security around the courthouse," Coolidge said. "I'm more concerned about our personnel than myself."

The move angered many Trump supporters. Audit the Vote PA, a group that has been promoting Mastriano's effort, said in a Facebook post on Thursday that it had been informed of death threats against Tioga County commissioners. "We never ever would condone violence and we would never advocate for that," it said.

Violence is not the answer, but the heat needs to be turned way up on these traitors.

Peacefully put pressure on these RINO scum bags. Get in their faces. Make their lives miserable.

Everyone that voted for Trump needs to realize that they have been disenfranchised by the election fraud in PA, AZ, GA, WI, MI, MI, and many other states. These so-called Republicans either lack courage or are complicit in the election fraud. They are our enemies and need to be treated as such. DO NOT be nice to these people and write polite letters. It doesn't work. Treat them like the pieces of schiff that they are. Give the enemy no quarter.

Shame that the hate is coming from the conservatives in this case. A small county threatened by wolf to basically prevent the next election from happening if they complied with the audit. and conservatives accuse them of being traitors. Imagine a small business told to add all this work to a small staff trying to get ready for the annual sales event. These guys do not have the resources to defend themselves from Wolf and the acting secretary of State for the next election in November. The upcoming election is a priority. sorry. I’ll defend their decision in view of the facts. Doug should have picked a bigger county like Delaware. or even Bucks.

Does anyone else smell gaslighting?

I’m talking that NASCAR garage door noose and Smollett attack kind.

Farcebook posts fear more evidence to appear in rigged election greater fear of honest elections.
