As the 2024 elections approach, ads have begun to appear in key states suggesting that local officials have discretion to not certify elections.
Advertisements reported at the time By ProPublica and Wisconsin WatchIt was misleading. Certification is not optional, and officials must certify the vote after the proper process for any election challenge is completed and a formal challenge is completed. But the warnings come as Donald Trump and his allies prepare to challenge the election results if he loses.
New documents reviewed by the Guardian show the group behind the ads received financial support from a non-profit organization linked to prominent election deniers linked to Trump. The same nonprofit organization, the Foundation for Accountability Integrity and Research in Elections (Fair Elections Fund), also paid influential figures to promote a bill that would ban voting in 2024.
Cleta Mitchell, an attorney and longtime Trump ally who helped Trump’s efforts to flip the 2020 race, and researcher Heather Honey Known for misleading election analysis Both of these people, who currently work at the Department of Homeland Security, are listed as managers of the fund, which was established in Delaware in 2023.
Honey’s date His appointment to a DHS post last year caused serious alarm among voting rights groups, who said it placed the election denier in a powerful government role. Honey before coming to government produced misleading research Trump’s remarks to undermine confidence in the 2020 election. For example, he falsely claimed that there were more votes than there were voters in Pennsylvania in 2020.
His appointment comes as Trump and his administration continue to cast doubt on the integrity of American elections and make baseless accusations of fraud without providing concrete evidence. There are still concerns that Trump could use the powerful machinery of the justice department and other government resources to challenge this year’s midterm election results.
Mitchell and Honey did not respond to a request for comment.
Democratic senators meet to plan response to potential election interference in midterms
Hello, welcome to the US politics live blog.
Democrats are weighing messaging strategies and considering legal action amid fears that Donald Trump or malicious foreign actors will try to influence the midterm elections.

War game included how to react federal agents at polling places, ballot seizures in key battleground states, and dealing with a foreign interference operation.
Schumer said:
Trump has repeatedly talked about stealing the election, violating the election, perverting the election.
Shame on us, and woe to everyone who believes in free elections but doesn’t take it seriously.
We will be prepared for whatever he throws at us.
This year’s midterm elections will be an example of how the president will use the power of the federal government in cities and states to ensure his party maintains power.
President Trump is “inventing fraud” in the California primary, experts warned Tuesday; This rhetoric will likely increase false allegations as more races emerge against him.
“The issue here is not the California election,” said Omar Noureldin, senior vice president of policy and litigation at Common Cause, a pro-democracy watchdog group.
“The problem is that we have a president in the Oval Office who continues to lie and create doubt about the election rather than face voters with accountability.”
