Election denialists smacked down by Idaho secretary of state

Conspiracy theorists pushing misinformation about the 2020 elections took their allegations to Idaho, and Idaho officials pushed right back.

Top Gem State election administrators in Secretary of State Lawrence Denney's (R) office said late Wednesday they had visited two counties to conduct a hand recount of last year's presidential contest after hearing from readers of a website linked to MyPillow chief executive Mike Lindell, widely discredited for spreading easily disprovable misinformation in recent months.

Denney's office said it received allegations, in the form of screenshots of a report published on Lindell's site, that vote tallies in all 44 of Idaho's counties showed evidence of "electronic manipulation."

The only problem: At least seven of Idaho's 44 counties do not use any electronic steps in their vote-counting process, making the claims impossible.

The plan is to get us used to the idea of private entities challenging our elections & getting access to our ballots & voting systems. Next time they won't wait months to act, they'll be there the day after election day. And how do we say no when we let them pull this circus in AZ off? This farce should have been shut down long, long ago. Hello, DOJ?
