I tried to simplify my question but doubt it is clear. (I’m hoping this can be a factual question and answer vs political debate.). I preface my question with the general impression that most threats and warnings are issued in the service of the right wing and particularly in support of the former president. But I may just be getting a biased view. So, is there a data base or clearinghouse of information that would indicate the political leanings of the predominant threatening voices or actors?

A good indicator would be who (or what actions) got the threats. Another indicator of the level of those threats would be if someone were to receive police protection of have to hire security.

The FBI may have one. I’m sure other organizations attempt to track election threats.
