Anyone who monitors right-wing message boards knew this was coming. Qanon cultists are especially focused on winning local election posts. Now, a year after Trump pressured local and state election officials to change the results of the 2020 race, he and his supporters are pushing to place Trump loyalists in key election positions across the country, according to the Washington Post: The effort goes far beyond the former president’s public broadsides against well-known Republican state officials who certified President Biden’s victory, such as Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and Arizona Gov.
