Who Is the Real Threat to Our Elections?

 The DOJ's Election Threats Task Force has charged four individuals with threatening election officials in Colorado, Alabama, Florida, and Pennsylvania.

The National Election Threats Task Force was charged with investigating individuals who "Threaten violence in an effort to undermine our democratic institutions." Members of the ETTF first met in February 2019.

At the top of the agenda was concern over alleged "Election deniers." The Task Force was preoccupied with the "Undermining of free and fair elections," all propagated by "Lies and conspiracy theories." Take a wild guess about the profiles of these so-called "Election deniers." The group bills itself as "Cross-partisan," but a little research tells me it isn't.

Regardless, given the company they keep and the narratives they push, it is plausible that not all "Threats to our elections" will be treated equally.

The group publishes a monthly summary of election threats as a part of its "Election 2024 Analysis." It is effectively election threat central.

In the Fall of 2022, I wrote an article entitled "How Election Deniers Became Domestic Terrorists." It discussed the way well-meaning Americans were being labeled as election deniers because they were participating in the "Big Lie." The Big Lie is "The false claim that the 2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump." There were and are narratives all over legacy media and social media demonizing average Americans who are engaged in civic duty.

In 2017, the Department of Homeland Security designated election infrastructure "As a subset of the government facilities sector." And then, of course, our own DHS has prioritized domestic terrorism as the greatest threat to the nation when there is scant basis for the concern.
