The Washington Post article also talks about a case in AZ

"The man charged with threats in Arizona was identified Thursday as Mark A. Rissi, 64, of Hiawatha, Iowa. He allegedly left a voice mail for Clint Hickman, chair of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, as an Arizona ballot review — ordered by the Republican-majority state Senate — was coming to close.

“You’re gonna die, you piece of [expletive]. We’re going to hang you. We’re going to hang you,” the indictment said.

Hickman’s experiences were chronicled as part of The Washington Post’s three-part series on the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, which described how threats levied against local election administrators only grew after the violence in Washington.

In an interview Thursday, Hickman, 57, expressed gratitude that an arrest had been made — but said more action was needed."
