How 'Stop the Steal' Became 'Watch the Polls'

During early voting in Arizona’s Pima County in August, local election workers had a series of confrontations with poll watchers determined to prevent voter fraud. One of the poll watchers complained loudly about “fraudulent elections.” Another had to be reprimanded multiple times about trying to view private voter data.

The large-scale recruitment push by right-wing groups is unlikely to increase election transparency if it’s rooted in disinformation, says Hasen of UC-Irvine.

But when he saw Ebrahimi, 41, use her life experience to remind him that desperate people make dangerous choices, his vision shifted. Every day I became more and more surprised by the way society behaved, even my colleagues were watching together,” Ebrahimi recalls.
