Voters in multiple states received threatening emails purportedly sent by the group, but the origin of the emails remains unknown.

Some of the emails were purportedly sent by the Proud Boys, a far-right extremist group with ties to white nationalism that has clashed with law enforcement during recent protests.

Christopher Krebs, director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, which is part of the Department of Homeland Security, wrote on Twitter that the agency was "aware of threatening emails with misleading info about the secrecy of your vote.".

"These emails are meant to intimidate and undermine American voters' confidence in our elections," he wrote.

Not a moment too soon, as we're aware of threatening emails with misleading info about the secrecy of your vote.

Pyche said hundreds, if not thousands, of voters in the county received the emails and that voters in other Florida counties also received them.

There have also been reports of similar emails being sent to voters in Arizona and Pennsylvania, but local officials in those states have not made any statements announcing investigations
