US far-right group sparks legal firestorm over drive to monitor drop-box voting

Melody Jennings of Clean Elections USA teamed up with True the Vote for project that echos Trump's false claims about 2020

A far-right group run by a Christian pastor has sparked a legal firestorm by spearheading a drive to aggressively monitor drop-box voting for fraud in Arizona and other states, in an echo of Donald Trump's false claims that the 2020 election results were rigged.

Melody Jennings, who runs Clean Elections USA, has teamed up with the conservative group True the Vote, which has a track record for making debunked charges of voting fraud. Together they are promoting a project to hunt for alleged drop-box fraud, which Jennings boasted in multiple interviews on Steve Bannon's podcast War Room and the MG Show, a conspiratorial QAnon program.
