At least 70 election conspiracists work as election officials in six swing states — and sit ready to carry out Trump’s efforts to overturn the election.

    While Trump’s election denial is a major issue, surely you understand why I’m taking this one specific article/headline with a cup of salt

      Yes. Although it should be in multi- oh, it’s an ‘exclusive’. Well. There’s a chance their findings are backed up with names, dates, and source materials.

      I mean - we know it’s going to happen, may as well get out in front of it.

    Good thing we’ve got presidential immunity, so those 70+ could be locked up with no ill consequences

    This is odd. This article on this… interesting site, appears to be written by the author of a Rolling Stone piece that was posted here two days ago. It’s worth reading the Rolling Stone article. Frankly, it is very concerning that so many election deniers are in positions of power over the coming election.

    The source is pretty terrible, but I did think it was weird that both of the people on the ballot for an election position were Republican and also husband and wife.

    Republicans pushing the election conspiracies and democrats staunchly denying said conspiracies are just muddying up the water

    US elections are a sham and fraud

    not counting the people sitting out and not voting we only have part of the voters voting

    the US through laws and legislations has made sure that there is a sizeable portion of the population here kept out of voting in elections and those are the numbers that would swing election results

      People claiming bigfoot exists and people saying it doesn’t are both equally at fault in the confusion.

      Fuck off.

      Democrats should be denying the conspiracies because they’re blatantly false bullshit. I don’t understand how that “muddies the waters.” It’s a lie.

      You’re confusing us with Russia, Ivan. Sucks that Putin fucked everything up there.

    Here’s an interesting comment thread saying the same thing with better resources. Trump said the same “we don’t need votes” thing again in PA recently. Wtf
