The Georgia election poll worker Rudy Giuliani accused of injecting fake votes into the 2020 election was barraged by violent and racist threats that had her fearing for her life, she testified Tuesday.
Shaye Moss, 39, wiped away tears as she shared some of those messages with jurors in her $43 million civil defamation case against the man once known as America’s mayor, ABC News 7 reports.
“I literally felt like someone going to come and attempt to hang me and there's nothing that anyone will be able to do about it," Moss reportedly testified.
"I was afraid for my life.”

Giuliani has already been found liable for defamation against Moss and Ruby Freeman, two Georgia poll workers swept up in a mass voter fraud conspiracy theory based on what ultimately proved to be a ginger mint.
The former New York City mayor repeatedly claimed Moss and Freeman had been passing around a USB drive packed with fake ballots as part of his efforts to challenge President Joe Biden’s 2020 victory.
The trial will determine damages.
Moss testified Tuesday that angry messages poured in after Giuliani accused her of election fraud, accusations he's accused of repeating outside the Washington D.C. courtroom Monday evening.
When U.S. District Court Judge Beryl Howell demanded an explanation from Giuliani’s lawyer Joe Sibley, he reportedly replied, "I can't control everything he does."
