Female election workers face growing threats as disinformation flourishes

[RandySF]

Scripps News visits Surry County, North Carolina, where an election official has been targeted by disinformation and threats by Trump supporters who believe the 2020 election was stolen.

We hear from Michella Huff, who began to receive phone calls and public questions about whether the 2020 election was valid.

"I was cornered and pressed for twenty minutes," she said of one confrontation. "All of a sudden election officials are people to not be trusted and not believed."

In one case in 2022, people pushing so-called election "integrity efforts" arrived to Huff's office and asked for access to voting machines. They claimed they had proof that the machines had contacted cellular towers on Election Day in 2020.

"I didn't expect to have to think about the safety of myself, my staff, my family," Huff said. "But that began to be a reality."

2. Surry County is where Mt Airy is aka Mayberry

It is read, and a lot of it is rural. My first girlfriend after I came out to myself in college was from there, and I spent many weekends up in Mt. Airy and Galax, VA.

3. Always targeting women for harm/abuse... just like the Taliban

4. The evil skidmarks...

... perpetrating this obscene behavior are beyond redemption or forgiveness. But they do deserve the same consideration one might afford a pack of rabid hyenas crashing a kid's birthday party.
