Over 100 election officials from eight pivotal states in the U.S. presidential race have demonstrated partisan election denial in recent years. This has led to concerns that they could attempt to manipulate the November result in favor of Republican candidate Donald Trump, as per a report published on Friday.
The comprehensive 88-page report, compiled by the Center for Media and Democracy (CMD), outlines the history of election denial by 102 county and state election officials in Arizona, Wisconsin, Georgia, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Michigan. The researchers discovered that election deniers control the majority of 15 county election boards in these states and also hold sway over the statewide board in Georgia.
