I would assume any elector can take a threat and report it to their local sheriff. And I also would assume they are getting so many that a deputy should be assigned to their home to both file criminal complaints and for protection. They can probably file quite a few per day.

Statistically there's got to be a few arrogant or stupid threateners who are just all in the open about it. Let them face local justice.

But the Elector has to call the sheriff first.

I agree. It is illuminating to me that the Electors are not reporting the alleged threats to law enforcement. Michigan Elector Mike Banerian is the only one to report a threat to his local police. Of course, Banerian said he wasn't afraid of the threat (indicative that the alleged threat is not a prosecutable "true threat"). Banerian also talked about the alleged threat on TV for two weeks before the media shamed him into reporting it to law enforcement. That suggests to me that Banerian thought that the "threat" was crude political speech.
