(CNN)As former President Donald Trump prepares for a potential comeback bid in 2024, his allies are flocking to election jobs all the way down to the local level in key battleground states, raising new concerns that the election officials who blocked Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election won't be there the next time around.
Trump himself has endorsed candidates for secretary of state and attorney general -- statewide races that play a crucial role in administering elections -- who have spread his lies about 2020. But in addition to statewide roles, Trump's acolytes are pursuing local election posts, even trickling down to the precinct level, and seeking to gain more prominent roles in state GOP parties and state legislatures ahead of the 2024 presidential campaign.
In Michigan, for instance, several new Republican appointees to county canvassing boards who have said they wouldn't have certified the 2020 election are replacing the GOP members who did certify the election result. One appointee in Macomb County urged Trump after the election to invoke the Insurrection Act and suspend the Electoral College meeting to set up military tribunals to investigate claims of election fraud.
Michigan is a microcosm of a broader, nationwide strategy being carried out by Trump allies like Steve Bannon, who has advocated for Trump's backers to infiltrate local Republican Party positions as well as election posts.

There. Fixed it!
he didn’t lose, it was stolen from him with the help of a complicit gop. we the people saw this and are going to rain down upon them with great vengeance
Sounds like a confession, CNN.
Like to see some consequences for CNN.
“raising new concerns that the election officials who blocked Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election won’t be there the next time around. “
So what is wrong with that. Removing the fraudsters and cheaters is a good thing — but that is why corrupt, lying CNN is concerned.
CNN: Michigan was not stolen? Sure... A demented basement dwelling white old man beat Obama by 300,000 votes and in less black communities. Mr Poopee Pants beat Hillary by 500,000.
The numbers do not compute. So, are we going to believe our lying eyes, or CNN?
MI
2,564,569 Obama
2,268,839 Clinton
2,804,040 Biden (+24%)
Exactly.
