A senior Georgia election official on Tuesday pleaded with US President Donald Trump “to stop inspiring people to commit potential acts of violence” by stoking unsubstantiated claims that the election he lost last month last was rigged.
Gabriel Sterling, state director of voting systems, said threats since the election have become so intense that police are stationed outside his home.
The Republican official also said that the wife of Georgian Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger received “sexualized threats” on her mobile phone and that a young entrepreneur received death threats after viral messages on the internet falsely sent him. claimed he was caught in the act of fraud.

Sterling, visibly angry during a brief press conference on Tuesday, addressed some of his remarks to fellow Republican Trump, who continues to make false claims that he won the Nov. 3 election against Democratic President-elect Joe Biden and that the vote was marred by widespread fraud.
Trump campaign spokesman Tim Murtaugh said he’s trying to make sure “all legal votes are counted and not all illegal votes are counted.” No one should engage in threats or violence, and if that has happened, we fully condemn it. “
Courts and election officials have not seen evidence to support Trump’s claims and the US Department of Justice has also not seen evidence, according to widely regarded Attorney General William Barr, a person named by Trump as true to him.
“Stop inspiring people to commit potential acts of violence. Someone is going to be hurt, someone is going to be shot, someone is going to be killed, ”Sterling said.
“Everything has gone too far,” he added. “It has to stop.”
Last week Trump publicly called Raffensperger, also a Republican, an “enemy of the people.”
On Monday, one of the president’s lawyers, Joseph DiGenova, called for a cable show to say that Christopher Krebs, the former head of US election security, should be “brought out at dawn and shot.” Krebs was sacked by Trump after saying there was no evidence the vote was compromised.

Sterling said Trump’s statement about Raffensperger “helped open the floodgates to this kind of shit.
“There are weirdos out there who are going to take this and say, ‘The president told me to do this,'” Sterling said.
