Dark money sources behind the "Stop the Steal/Election "Integrity" activities

Prior to the midterms, Republicans across the country were recruited and trained as "election observers" to look for
- "mules" delivering bundles of ballots to ballot boxes
- evidence of fraud in collecting, processing and counting ballots
- evidence of ineligible voters. They went door to door checking on "questionable voters" from a list.

It was all bullshit, and super creepy.

A team of lawyers waited for any reports, in order to file lawsuits challenging the elections. They want to take over local election operations using lawsuits.

This article discusses who is funding and organizing these activities. We will have to remain vigilant and defend our local elections organizations from these ghouls.

one big chunk goes to keep a crew of lawyers on hire to file worthless lawsuits. The more they file, the more suspicion is cast on the election officials.

Cleta Mitchell is a big recipient. She was one of the lawyers who filed so many unsuccessful suits on behalf of tRump.

It seems to have become a lucrative cottage industry. But I'm sure there is more to it.
