US security forces have arrested on Friday a person from North Carolina, who possessed a large number of weapons and rifles. The man planned to assassinate the Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden.

The federal jury indicted Alexander Hillel Triesman, on charges of possessing images of child pornography as well as plotting to assassinate Biden.

Evidence gathered by investigators indicates that Triesman made initial plans to leave the country later with a Polish passport that a photocopy of which was discovered on his computer.

On the other hand, Dozens of American voters in Alachua County, Florida State, were surprised to receive e-mail messages, including 183 people at State University, allegedly from a right-wing group threatening to "pursue them" if they won't vote for President Trump over the next presidential elections.

Also, voters in Alaska and Arizona States reported that they had received the same message.

Election officials in Florida and Alaska called law enforcement after registered voters reported receiving threatening messages saying, "Vote for Trump or else."

The messages indicated that they came from the right-wing Broad Boys group, and showed the address of the group, which pro-civil rights groups classify as "A hate group," according to Sky News.

Examining the messages, which are now being investigated by federal authorities, reveals that they were sent via servers outside the United States, raising questions about their source, amid fears of voter intimidation just two weeks before Election Days scheduled for November 3.

Some of the messages included the recipients' home addresses, while one of the recipients said that the sender appeared to be relying on outdated information because the address he used had changed.

Alachua's mayor's office said it and the county election supervisor are aware of the e-mails and are working with local and federal law enforcement partners to investigate the source of the message, which the Election Office described as "voter intimidation."

American media said that Triesman bought a house in New Hampshire and lived 4 miles from Biden's house, and he also posted a question on one of his accounts saying: "Should I kill Joe Biden?"
