NBC News ran a story recently about how the entire election team of Buckingham County, Virginia had quit their jobs because of âbase voter fraud allegations.â
You know: âthe Big Lieâ that Donald Trump was cheated out of the White House by a dementia patient who declined to campaign in 2020 â yet somehow got 81 million votes!
Hereâs what NBCâs brand of stale disinformation sounds like:

âA lot of election officials Iâve talked to are asking themselves: Why am I doing this? Why am I getting paid like a civil servant to be constantly harassed?â said David Becker, executive director of the nonpartisan Center for Election Innovation and Research that helps support election officials. âWhether itâs the intent or not, the effect is to drive a lot of these public servants â upon who weâve relied for decades in some cases â out of the field, which will leave elections more vulnerable than theyâve been before.â
