Former Georgia poll worker indicted, accused of bomb threat, lying to FBI

ATLANTA -- A former Georgia poll worker told federal investigators he thought it was a voter who sent a written bomb threat to an election superintendent.

But the letter was found on Nicholas Wimbish's computer, according to investigators. On Tuesday, the 25-year-old from Milledgeville was indicted, accused of mailing the letter that threatened to bomb a polling place and harm workers, and for lying to the FBI during the investigation, the U.S. Department of Justice said.
