(Reuters) - A coalition of rightwing “constitutional sheriffs,” who claim legal power in their jurisdictions that exceeds U.S. federal and state authorities, has a new calling: investigating conspiracy theories that the 2020 election was rigged against former President Donald Trump.
The Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association has teamed with True the Vote, a Texas nonprofit and purveyor of debunked voter-fraud claims, to recruit like-minded sheriffs nationwide to investigate 2020 stolen-election allegations and to more aggressively police future voting.
The partnership, detailed last week at the association’s annual gathering in Las Vegas, aims to intensify a movement already underway. At least four ideologically aligned county sheriffs in Michigan, Wisconsin, Kansas and Arizona have launched election-fraud probes since the 2020 vote. None has established evidence of systemic fraud.
“This is our top priority. It’s our duty,” Richard Mack, founder of the constitutional sheriffs organization, told Reuters in an interview at the Las Vegas meeting. Mack also touted the True the Vote partnership later in the week at FreedomFest, a national gathering of libertarian-leaning thinkers and political figures, where he urged that sheriffs “join us in this holy cause.”

None has established evidence of systemic fraud.
partisan investigations by sheriffs into baseless voter-fraud claims
Trump supporters have alleged, without evidence, that drop boxes enabled the mass collection of fraudulent votes
fact-checkers, have in fact dismissed the movie as misleading and its evidence as flimsy.
No bias in this article.
You should have put in brackets “D” beside the names of the authors.
I make a habit of stopping at “right wing”, “debunked voter fraud claims” and “investigating conspiracy theories that the 2020 election was rigged”
Haha! Did “Rooters” ever once call the Trump-Russia hoax a conspiracy theory?
It’s the fear these folks have of any investigation that is their big tell.
If they’re right that the election was fair, why would they care if anyone looks into it?
Dear Reuters, just so you know, the US Constitution grants the Federal Government exactly ZERO law enforcement powers in the “Several States”...
The sheriffs will be able to call a news conference and announce “yes, it happened again”
Left-wing sheriffs vow to not investigate voter fraud.
"The trust in media, in newspapers and television, is hitting an all time low. People don't trust us. They don't believe us, and it makes me wonder if this job —as I'm currently doing it— is effective, but if it's doing more harm than good."
— Katy Tur
They still don’t get it…
It’s too late, unless you have serious plans to punish what happened, and the ability to ignore wackamolee paid liar judges who want to stop you.
Not only are they never going to admit it, but the other mockingbirds who pushed the fake news get to keep their pukelitzer prices because they determined that, even though the reporting was bogus, it just felt right, and is therefore was justified. Journalistic integrity for you.
Why yes it’s perfectly normal to stop counting simultaneously for hours in the three most crucial swing states while Trump was pounding Biden
It's certainly interesting that these Ultra Left partisan reporters are so worried about such so-called 'baseless' claims. If the claims are so 'baseless' why are they concerned?
pity the counties that elect "the other kind"
The hatred practically drips off the page.
Fact checkers and voter fraud debunkers who were the barking moonbats who believed 9/11 was an inside job. Michael two dinners Moore won awards and accolades for his riveting documentary Fahrenheit 9121 And how many of them believe the Moon landing was hoax? Contrary to popular belief that’s been around since before Alex Jonesr was even thought of.
Well, the outcome will not be overturned. But, the more people who know the election was, to say the very least, fishy, the better.
Yup,
It drips the
Blood of Patriots.
AND...who has “confidence” in elections these days anyway?
“A coalition of rightwing “constitutional sheriffs,”
F’n Reuters.
