The crackpot network that tried to steal 2020 is now being built into government — and a breaking New York Times story reveals they’re even floating a “national emergency” to let Trump seize control of elections.(New York Times, gift link)
It’s called the Election Integrity Network – EIN – founded by Trump’s 2020 lawyer Cleta Mitchell, who joined his infamous call pressuring Georgia’s Secretary of State to “find” 11,780 votes.(The New Republic, CNN)
After 2020, Cleta created EIN to turn a group of fringe conspiracy theorists into a well-funded operation to attack independent elections.(New York Times gift link, Wall Street Journal)
EIN is a machine: recruiting activists, pushing anti-voter laws, and installing loyalists in government.
One of EIN’s most loyal operatives is Heather Honey. She spread the lie that Pennsylvania had “more votes than voters” — the same lie Trump repeated on January 6th.(ABC 27, Youtube)
Now Trump has put her in a new election role at the Department of Homeland Security.(ProPublica)
As far back as March, in her work with EIN and before her DHS appointment, Heather Honey was floating the idea of a “national emergency” to bypass Congress and let Trump take control of elections.(New York Times, gift link)
And now, even Cleta Mitchell is saying Trump can use emergency powers to take control of elections.(Video of Cleta Mitchell on a far-right show)
This is the endgame of a network that’s been working for years to restrict access to the ballot and roll back voting rights in order to rig the system.
