"It has all gone too far," said Gabriel Sterling, Georgia's voting system implementation manager, raising his voice. "All of it."
Visibly angry, Sterling spent several minutes of an afternoon news conference describing threats targeting state election officials and workers.
He said a 20-year-old tech employee in Gwinnett County received death threats and was made the subject of a noose image disseminated online Tuesday that read he should be "hung for treason."

The senators Sterling referenced are Georgia's two Republican U.S. senators, David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler, who are running in runoff elections on Jan. 5 that could decide control of the Senate.
