“With 102 deniers on election boards in the swing states, the potential for creating chaos is enormous.”
More than 100 election officials across eight swing states in the U.S. presidential race have engaged in partisan election denial in recent years, raising fears they could try to turn the November result in favor of Republican nominee Donald Trump, according to a report released Friday.
The 88-page report, produced by the Center for Media and Democracy (CMD), details the election denial history of 102 county and state election officials in Arizona, Wisconsin, Georgia, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Michigan. The authors found that election deniers have majority control of 15 county election boards in those states and of the statewide board in Georgia.
“What was striking to us about our research is how much election denialism and the voter fraud lie have infiltrated and taken over the Republican apparatus in each of these critical states,” Arn Pearson, CMD’s executive director, told The Guardian.
Yes. Again, as we here all know, THAT’S THE PLAN.
When they crammed these bullshit ‘certification’ laws through in early 2021 (what else happened then? Nothing i guess) it was lying in wait for this moment coming up in seven weeks.
Maybe corporate news could explain that to Captain BigTruck and the Book Burnin’ Karen Klubs around the country. Instead of doing the absolute least possible and pretending they’ve done their job.
