Here’s a deeply reported piece by Eli Salsow in the New York Times, in which he spends time with a county election clerk in a small Nevada town with 620 voters: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/06/us/politics/nevada-election-clerk-trump.html?unlocked_article_code=1.xk0.Wsdw.1RH-Oz4t3SH0&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare&sgrp=c-cb (gift)
The county’s Trump voters are incensed that he won by only 82% in 2020 …
… so they try to recall the election clerk, Cindy Elgan
Many are *close friends* of the clerk, but imbibe a diet of online-conspiracy posts, so they’ve turned on her
Here’s a sample of what one believes

1. She came to believe, along with millions of others, that Covid was a creation of the federal government used to manipulate the public and steal elections; that two doses of the vaccine would make men infertile; that Trump had been anointed to lead a "government cleansing"; that fighting had already begun in underground military tunnels; that Trump's election in 2024 was preordained by God; that he would return to power with loads of gold collected from other countries that had capitulated to his power; that, during his next term, Americans would have free electricity, zero income tax and "medbeds" powered by a secret technology that could harness natural energy to heal diseases and extend human life; and that the only thing standing in the way of this future was a deep state so malicious and vast that its roots extended all the way into tiny Esmeralda County.
