Hodges knows these people well and how the politics in the state work. He is afraid that they are being threatened. Georgia Governor Kemp's daughter's boyfriend, who was also a staffer for Senator Loeffler, was killed in a fireball of a car wreck. It sent a message to a whole lot of people in Georgia. Then there was the killing of the son and husband of a Federal Judge by someone that also suicided themselves later. I am sure this was also meant to send a message to other judges that may hear election related cases as well.
This power struggle is usually about money and promises of future position - but if bribery and blackmail don't work, threats against someone you care about generally will get results. Security for these people sticking their necks out is slim and usually provided by private citizens. Let us pray it will be enough to keep them safe.
