Coming to a polling place near you—especially if you live in a battleground state: Republican poll workers trained by conspiracy theorists. No, really, take it from the absolutely-not-liberals over at Politico:
“The Republican National Committee has been relying on a stable of the party’s most prolific spreaders of false stolen-election theories to pilot a sweeping ‘election integrity’ operation to recruit and coach thousands of poll workers in eight battleground states.”
The effort is being led by Cleta Mitchell, one of the lawyers who worked directly with Donald Trump to try to overturn the 2020 presidential election. Mitchell was even on the phone call in which Trump pressured Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to “find 11,780 votes.” And in addition to her role in an attempted coup, Heidi Przybyla reports that Mitchell has been using “great replacement” theory-flavored rhetoric at “Election Integrity Network” summits held as part of the larger effort to train 15,000 Republican poll workers.
