They tried to overturn the 2020 US election. Now, they hold power in Trump's Washington

I'm low-key freaking out over this! The fact that election deniers like Harmeet Dhillon, Heather Honey, and Kurt Olsen are now in charge of shaping our democracy in the US is just wild. It's like they're playing a super toxic game of "death by a thousand cuts" - undermining election security, restricting access to voting, and pushing for voter ID laws that could hurt specific demographics.

I'm also worried about the state of cybersecurity in elections. Election disinformation research and foreign interference work have been basically shut down, leaving us vulnerable to all sorts of shenanigans. It's like they're creating a perfect storm of manipulation and misinformation.

We need local officials and citizens to stay vigilant and protect our right to vote. It's time for us to stand up against these efforts and demand that our democracy is safeguarded.

I'm getting really worried about the future of elections in the US. It's crazy that people who doubted the 2020 election results are now running key departments like justice and homeland security. This is not just a threat to democracy, it's also an attack on our freedom to vote.

I mean, have you seen what's happening with voter ID laws? They're basically designed to limit access for certain groups of people. It's like they want to restrict who can cast their ballot. That's not democracy, that's authoritarianism.

And don't even get me started on cybersecurity and election disinformation research being cut back. What's going to happen if there's a real threat to our elections? Are we just supposed to sit back and wait for something to go wrong?

The midterms are coming up, and I'm already seeing people making claims that Democrats or the courts are trying to stop Trump from installing election reforms. That's just not true. The problem is the other way around – Trump's team is trying to rig the system.

We need local officials to stay vigilant and protect our right to vote. We can't let these folks undermine our democracy without a fight. It's time to raise our voices and demand better.
