Halifax police investigating Monday morning Dartmouth death as suspicious | SaltWire #newsupdateWASHINGTON - A man was sentenced on Monday to two and a half years in prison for harassing an Arizona election official, part of an effort by federal prosecutors to crack down on threats to public officials ahead of the November election.

Justice Department officials touted the case as they condemned threats against election workers, who have been subjected to a torrent of threats in recent years largely tied to former President Donald Trump’s false claims that the 2020 election was stolen through widespread voter fraud. Arizona was one of the most competitive states in the 2020 election and is expected to be a top battleground this year as well, when Trump is seeking to win back the White House from incumbent Democrat Joe Biden.

Lawyers for Russell asked for a term of probation, arguing in a court filing that he did not intend to follow through on the threats.
