The DOJ indictment shows that the alleged plot began in fall 2020 when the pair, claiming to be volunteers from the Proud Boys, began sending out blast emails to high-ranking Republicans and allies of former President Donald Trump. These emails claimed the Democratic Party would attempt to steal the election.
Emails were also sent to registered Democrats threatening them with physical harm if they did not vote for Trump and change their party affiliation, the DOJ said.
The men also allegedly tried to compromise at least 11 separate voter registration websites. This resulted in the men being able to download information on over 100,000 voters in one unnamed state, according to the DOJ.
