Hindle was another replacement in what was a revolving door of county election officials across Nevada as the 2022 midterms approached. He had just unseated the interim clerk, who had stepped in after the prior clerk resigned.

But Hindle’s tenure in the heavily Republican county is part of a trend across battleground states where fake electors have retained influence over elections heading into 2024.

He is among six Republicans who were indicted this month by Democratic Attorney General Aaron Ford for their alleged roles in attempting to overturn the election outcome in the swing state, which Democrat Joe Biden carried by more than 33,000 votes over the GOP president.

and they're gonna try to steal it for him again like they did in 2016

They won't. At least not in the way you're thinking.

They found the bugs in Insurrection v.1. Made patches and found where it would be better to have "Loyalists".

If there is any hint that Biden will win in a district they control, they will make sure that it doesn't happen.

If you are a democracy loving American, sign up TODAY, not tomorrow, not a week before the primary, to either be a poll officer, poll watcher, or other observer.

The last few times I did was the youngest person by at least 30 years and I'm 40 years old now.

This won't stop a corrupt Secretary of State. But it is the least we can do.

The most we can do is convert them into kindling.
