Frederick Francis Goltz, 52, threatened a county attorney and a county elections official on far-right-wing social media platforms, federal officials say.
In precincts he believed had “suspect” results in the November 2022 elections, Goltz advocated for “a mass shooting of poll workers and election officials.”
Goltz admitted in plea papers to posting a lawyer’s name, address and contact information online in November 2022.“Someone needs to get these people AND their children,” he wrote. “The children are the most important message to send.” The U.S. Attorney’s office said Goltz also posted that he was “willing to take lives” in order to protect against a “tyrannical government.”
The Maricopa County Attorney’s Office lawyer testified at Thursday’s sentencing hearing that he, his wife, and his four children were assigned around-the-clock protection and issued body armor because of the threat.“I am in awe of the dedicated workers and public servants that fulfill their duties to ensure that all of our voices can be heard above the noise created by repugnant threats intended to incite fear and physical harm,” Dallas FBI Special Agent in Charge Chad Yarbrough said..
