"Republican County Officials Brace for Election Deniers-Again," the Journal repeatedly characterized those who think the 2020 election was stolen, rigged, or less-than-secure as "Election deniers," and stopped just short of calling them domestic terrorists.
The piece is framed as a disturbing look at the growing threats facing local election officials from "Election deniers" - an asinine epithet - as we approach November 5: "Four years of baseless allegations of election fraud have created an atmosphere of fear and intimidation among election officials from Atlanta to rural Washington state, transforming the way workers in many parts of the country are approaching the most fundamental of civic duties."
After a series of legal challenges to the 2020 results were dismissed, Trump "Has continued to assert the election was rigged," the article reads, eliding the important difference between stealing and rigging an election.
The entire frame and premise of the piece is designed to gaslight readers into thinking that election officials nationwide are being hunted by rabid Trump supporters who have been hoodwinked into believing an outlandish conspiracy theory about the 2020 election.
Their widespread adoption in 2020, and the attempt by Democrats to make them a regular feature of our elections, should concern anyone who cares about election integrity.
There are tons of stories like this playing out across the country right now that paint a very different picture of the election, not one of rabid election deniers threatening local officials, but of Democrat attorneys general, donors, and activists trying to rig the election in their favor in a thousand different ways.
The 2020 election exposed serious flaws in how elections are administered in this country, and pretending that anyone who asks questions or doubts the integrity of our elections is an "Election denier" - or worse, a domestic terrorist - is itself one of the tactics Democrats used to rig the 2020 election.
