Sexualized threats. Home break-ins. Death threats. An attempted citizen’s arrest. Being singled out by name and image by Donald Trump and his advisers. This is just a fraction of what Georgia’s election workers and their families experienced in the days and weeks after the former president made the state the focus of his “Big Lie” election conspiracy.
“There is nowhere I feel safe. Nowhere. Do you know how it feels to have the president of the United States target you?” Ruby Freeman, a poll worker in the Atlanta area, told lawmakers investigating the January 2021 insurrection in pre-recorded testimony that aired during a Tuesday hearing. The Select Committee to Investigate the January 6 Attack on the United States Capitol had just played a phone call of Trump mentioning Freeman by name more than a dozen times in a conversation with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, referring to her as a “professional vote scammer and hustler.
Freeman, who is a Black woman, was advised by the FBI in January to vacate her home of 21 years for safety reasons. She was not able to return for two months. A video circulated widely after the election showed Freeman wearing a t-shirt advertising her namesake women’s boutique. She has one in every color.
