DES MOINES, Iowa — An Iowa man who made death threats against Arizona officials over the 2020 election has been sentenced to more than two years in prison.
Mark Rissi, of Hiawatha, left threatening voicemails for Clint Hickman, an election official with the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, and then-Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich, according to court documents.
Those documents quote Rissi ending a September 2021 voicemail for Hickman by saying, "You’re gonna die, you piece of [expletive]. We’re going to hang you. We’re going to hang you.”
In a December 2021 message left for Brnovich, court documents quote Rissi saying, "Do your job, Brnovich, or you will hang with those [expletive] in the end. We will see to it. Torches and pitchforks. That’s your future, [expletive]. Do your job.”
Rissi in April pleaded guilty to two counts of sending a threatening interstate communication. He was sentenced Monday by a U.S. District judge to 30 months in prison.
“This sentence makes clear that individuals who illegally threaten election officials and others associated with the electoral process will face meaningful penalties,” Nicole M. Argentieri, acting assistant attorney general of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division, said in a news release. “The Justice Department will diligently investigate and prosecute attempts to illegally threaten, intimidate, and coerce the individuals administering the nation’s free and fair elections.”
