Right-wing media figures urge immediate purges of voter rolls following Supreme Court’s election database decision (opens the original)
Read excerpt
After the Supreme Court ruling on the modified Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements database, right-wing media figures and election denial activists are calling on states to purge their voter rolls — even though there is a moratorium on the systematic removal of voters from voter rolls 90-days prior to election day, and evidence the database could boot eligible voters from the voter rolls. The Supreme Court recently gave the Trump administration a win on its so-called election integrit
John Solomon hyped Trump prosecutor Joe diGenova's work just days before diGenova resigned (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A day prior to Joe diGenova’s abrupt resignation from his position running Trump's “Grand Conspiracy” probe, diGenova ally and “special government employee” John Solomon — whose task force just declassified documents related to the probe, including notes from the FBI's interview of former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn — was seemingly caught flat-footed, boasting of diGenova's role as part of a “buzzing accountability machine.” On September 10, diGenova resigned from his Justice D

Read excerpt
Update (7/13/26): This article has been updated with an additional example. Discussing the U.S. Election Assistance Commission on a conservative podcast, prominent election denier David Clements claimed on July 8 that “in theory, right now,” President Donald Trump “can fire the entire board as it's comprised, and it's completely constitutional." On the evening of July 9, Trump announced that he had done just that. Democrats have criticized the move, and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY
