Some threats directed at election workers are crimes, but regardless of criminality all threats serve to undermine our Democracy.
The Federal Government worries actively about threats to election officials and workers in all states and in all electons.
Here are two links to their recommendations
1. Home Page: https://www.eac.gov/election-officials/election-official-security
2. Reporting theats:
report to the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI (225-5324), prompt 1, then prompt 3, or online at tips.fbi.gov [https://tips.fbi.gov/home ]
BUT, I suggest an easier method to reduce the volume of threats I call NAME AND SHAME.
Post in social media or online every threat including any profanity together with person's name, phone number and/or email. When the threats are not made public those who want to threaten workers feel they are safe from any consequences of their threat.
Your legal department may have some questions about the action; I am aware only of possible liability provided that the information posted is false or untrue. Posting truthful information probably is safe from liability.
