To help election officials address the threats against them, Becker launched the Election Official Legal Defense Network with election lawyers Bob Bauer and Ben Ginsberg. The group connects election workers with pro bono attorneys for legal counsel. "The threats resume whenever that chatter increases," Schmidt said. But he noted that the threats aren't as specific or as graphic as the post-election threats he endured.
