BUCKINGHAM, Virginia — Lindsey Taylor loved running elections here.
The previous registrar had spent nearly three decades in the job, and Taylor, 37, hoped to do the same when she was first hired in 2019. She loved her staff and the volunteer poll workers, and she took pride in the detail-oriented work. She implemented dozens of new laws in 2020, ran elections through the pandemic and impressed many in the rural, conservative, tight-knit community of Buckingham County.
But then the voter fraud claims started.
In January, the GOP assumed control of the Buckingham County Electoral Board that oversees her office, and local Republicans began advancing baseless voter fraud claims that baffled her. The electoral board made it clear it wanted her out of the job.
“There were people saying that they had heard all these rumors — that the attorney general was going to indict me,” Taylor said, days after leaving the office for the last time. “Mentally, I just — I couldn’t take it anymore.”
Three weeks ago, frustrated and heartbroken, Taylor, along with two part-time staffers, quit. Their resignations followed a deputy registrar who left in February, citing the same conflict.
Years after former President Donald Trump began pushing his lies about stolen elections, communities like Buckingham County are grappling with the aftershocks: What happens when election denialism drives out the people needed to keep local democracy running?

“I don’t even need to look. When the Media and the Left use “Nonpartisan” in any description, it is always, ALWAYS a far Left, radical, Marxist organization.”
Proof of your statement is the North Dakota Democratic-NPL party. NPL stands for non-partisan league, which is today 100% commie and holds very few seats in the ND state government.
“Baseless”, huh?
I wonder why nbc news never used that word when reporting on the many lies told about Trump?
Senate Russia report proves Trump collusion was very real.

No hoax: Why the Russia investigation remains one of Trump’s biggest scandals
That requires a comprehensive audit trail, a high degree of transparency, and a willingness to be questioned in detail, even in a hostile manner. Running an election is like being a bank teller or a convenience store clerk. There is little room for error or sloppiness or any sort of attitude that chafes at scrutiny.
It's going to be a wonderful time when the filthbag "journalists" who gaslight us and push the Leftist/RINO/Democrat/WEF/UN/Globalist/Communist scumbag's anti-human agendas are cowering in their basements, fearing for their well being. That cannot happen soon enough.
Baseless voter fraud claims . . . trump’s lies. Hardly a news piece.
They did the same thing in Yavapai County, AZ a while back. So called Republicans blaming Trump voters.
At first, I thought the “powers that be” allowed the GOP to take the House last November so that they would be the ones blamed for the nation’s economic disaster that will be evident to even the “experts” by the end of this year.
However, more recently I’m beginning to think they did not intend for the GOP to win, but due to all the extra eyes on the balloting process in so many district, they could not cheat at the level needed in ALL districts. Therefore, in some districts they could run up the score and cheat without worry of anyone listening to complaints of fraud, but in others there were too many safeguards in place, and people watching that their operators could not cheat in sufficient amounts necessary to push the democrat candidate across the finish line.
“In January, the GOP assumed control of the Buckingham County Electoral Board that oversees her office....”
Ms. Taylor seems to be an election official who is afraid of having the local spotlight on her actions and figures to get out of the office while the getting is good. Maybe she believes if she quits now, any deeper investigations into prior elections and suspicions of fraud will just go away.
And lies. Baseless and lies.
From the article: "In January, the GOP assumed control of the Buckingham County Electoral Board that oversees her office ..."
That means, of course, that the Democrats controlled the Electoral Board before January and is the Board that hired her. In Virginia, by statute, each county's electoral board has three members. Also by statute, the party that holds the governor's office gets two seats on the board and the other party gets one. Since VA's Governor Youngkin is Republican, Republicans get two seats on on the Board and can do what they want with staff. Elections have consequences, sweetie.
“Election denialism”
Whenever I hear or read those words sourced from the media - demonkkrap, it is they who are the election deniers .... denying voters a full and open transparent election. It’s not the candidates or voters who need to prove that the election was run honestly, it is the people in charge who have the duty to be completely open. There is a reason they are not.
Also, election denialism has extended to the feral givernment interfering in the 2020 election by giving orders to its pals in the media and big tech on which stories to censir, whom to shut off the internet.
I could go on and on with examples - including running 2016 and the 4 years of Trump’s administration. Bottom line, these far left wing radicals will never discuss election denialism that their side owns - these masters of deceit. And the fact that they won’t discuss it is election denialism. Their use of words and media remind me too much of what the communists are expert at doing ... history shows the American left has been involved with communism for a long time.
I wouldn't mind being paid like a civil "servant"
There lies the problem: With or without fraud, the voters who reside in crime ridden corrupt blue hellhole cities and neighborhoods are going to vote RAT in overwhelming numbers. In the minds of the fraud deniers, election fraud does not exist unless the alleged misconduct changes the outcome of an honest election.
An investigation when voting irregularities were discovered would have cashiered the idea of massive fraud. The problem was the Democrats were afraid they couldn’t manipulate the outcome and the result would have been disastrous; the question for them was risking an investigation that could blow up or looking like they’re covering up fraud. They chose the latter.
Bingo
The TRUTH has come out about LBJ stealing his initial Senate election. ALL demonRATS are of the same ilk. Their party platform is anti-God. They are reprobate, condemned, hell-bound, unless of course they repent.
I believe, really believe that Dewey really did DEFEAT TRUMAN.
... and the Demons have been cheating ever since.
Prove me wrong.
This is Bob Good’s district and he crushed the Dem in 2022.
Trump won this county by 13% in 2020.
I wonder what the complaints about the elections were.
“Entire” = Taylor and 2 part-time staffers.
Yeah. /s
Election staffs in all counties should change, especially in AZ.
