Overview

  • The Atlantic details how the Trump administration placed activists who pushed false 2020 claims into federal roles and contracts.
  • Cybersecurity figure Clay Parikh now serves as a special government employee, and a Georgia search-warrant affidavit cited his analysis to justify an FBI seizure of election materials.
  • Attorney Kurt Olsen joined to revisit the 2020 vote and has met with senior Justice Department officials about U.S. elections.
  • At the Department of Homeland Security, election activist Heather Honey holds a key role that several state election officials say they do not trust.
  • Independent forensic work has not found proof of hacking, including a Puerto Rico review that identified voting-machine weaknesses but no exploitation.
