Wandrea “Shaye” Moss, a Georgia election worker, testified before the Jan. 6 committee on Tuesday about the toll on herself and her family after former President Donald Trump, his lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, and sympathetic media accused her of fraudulently counting ballots for President Joe Biden during the 2020 election.
Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-MS) introduced Moss as an “unsung hero” of democracy for her 10 years as an elections official in Fulton County, where Trump’s voter fraud claims were centered in Georgia. Giuliani, Trump, and One America News Network circulated a video following the election that they claimed showed Moss and her mother, who was an election volunteer, counting fraudulent ballots.

“There were horrible threats wishing death upon me, telling me I’ll be in jail with my mother and to be glad it’s 2020 and not 1920,” said Moss, who is black. “A lot of them were racist. A lot of them were hateful.”
Moss said that the video did not show what Trump and Giuliani described and that when she and her mother exchanged a “flash drive,” it was in fact a mint.
Trump called Ruby Freeman, Moss’s mother, “a professional vote scammer and hustler” in a call with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, who also testified at Tuesday’s hearing. The committee played parts of Freeman’s recorded testimony, in which she recounted having to leave her home for two months due to the threats and how she is afraid to live a normal life.

“I felt like it was my fault for putting my family in this situation,” Moss said, whose son and grandmother were also harassed.
Moss and Freeman sued OANN for allowing Giuliani to continue to make the claim they were involved in election fraud on the channel. This fourth June hearing focused on Trump’s election fraud claims in Arizona and Georgia, with state officials testifying about Trump’s pressure campaign on them to overturn the narrow election results in favor of Biden.
