House Democrats call on Justice Department to address 'insider threats' posed by candidates who believe false election fraud claims

More than a dozen House Democrats are calling on the Department of Justice to address "insider threats" that they say candidates for state and local election posts, who believe the 2020 election was stolen, pose to the nation's election systems.

"Unfortunately, many of the candidates seeking to fill newly vacated state and local election posts support former President Trump's false claim that the 2020 election was stolen," wrote the Democrats, including Rep. Adam Schiff, a member of the House select committee investigating the January 6, 2021, insurrection.

Reps. Deborah Ross of North Carolina, Ruben Gallego of Arizona and Terri Sewell of Alabama are co-leaders on the letter.

"We are concerned that this new cohort of election officials may be inclined to abuse their authority to directly influence the results of future elections," they wrote.

The lawmakers suggest that there is an "active effort to recruit and convince election officials at all levels of governance to sabotage future elections by spreading conspiracy theories and promoting the claims of election deniers."

In addition to pointing to local examples in states like Michigan, Pennsylvania and Colorado, the lawmakers say that "at least ten candidates running for secretary of state and eight running for state attorney general across the country back false claims that the 2020 election was illegitimate."

Lets see if the GOP has the spine to stand up and turn the tables on any demoKKKrat who claimed the 2016 election was won because of Russian Collusion.

My; the democrats are really into using the POLICE STATE to attack what they perceive to be their political enemies aren’t they!

Sounds just like the Gestapo of NAZI GERMANY doesn’t it!

Once again, democrats project

They are all about setting up ‘insiders’ in elections around the country, particularly in democrat strongholds in purple states. Now they are worried republicans might not allow elections to get stolen, or worse yet, actually cheat like democrats do.

They’re freaking out.

They know that the goofier and weirder Joe acts, more and more of the country entertains the notion that he just might be a fraud after all.

From the same pricks who to this day say that Russia gave Trump the election in 2016..its funny how commies work, they can scream that the 2000 election was stolen from them, they can scream that the 2004 election was stolen from them, they can scream that the 2016 election was stolen from them, but the second ANYONE says that the 2020 election was stolen from US the same commies scream “Oh no you didn’t, you cant say that thats Russian propaganda”

It’s a TOTAL COINCIDENCE that the counties where the 2020 Democrats “outvoted” the 2008 Obama turnout just happen to be the very counties needed to secure the presidential “election”, crucial US Senate “elections” and US House “elections”...

Since the claims are all true, there is nothing to investigate.

Gazpacho will get them.

No free speech.

Everyone knows it was stolen, Biden is not president and it’s a house of cards.

Absolutely, I constantly point out that the last time they think they lost a legitimate presidential election was 1956. Everyone since then was at a minimum illegitimate for running an incumbent who stole the last election to flagrantly stolen.
