Election Officials Brace for New Challenges

New York Times: “In the two years since, groups of right-wing activists have banded together, spreading false claims of widespread fraud and misconduct in elections. Now those activists are inserting themselves in the vote count, with a broad and aggressive effort to monitor voting in search of evidence that confirms their theories.”

“Many of the activists have been mobilized by some of the same people who tried to overturn Mr. Trump’s defeat in 2020.”

“Their tactics in primary elections have officials braced for a range of new challenges, including disruptive poll watchers and workers, aggressive litigation strategies, voter and ballot challenges and vigilante searches for fraud.”
