Groups perpetuating Trump’s 2020 election lie face scrutiny and lawsuits

Colorado lawsuit charges group with questioning residents about voting status while Trump loyalists work to sustain falsehoods

Conservative groups perpetuating Donald Trump's false charges that the 2020 election was rigged have sparked a lawsuit against one in Colorado, and a congressional panel investigation of another in New Mexico, over aggressive tactics allegedly used to seek out possible voter fraud.

The scrutiny and criticism facing these conservative groups underscore how Trump loyalists in several US states are working to sustain falsehoods about Trump's loss, while launching new drives that voting rights advocates say smack of voter intimidation, often targeting communities of color.
