In this podcast episode, we explore the troubling challenges faced by election officials, focusing on Stephen Richer, the Recorder of Maricopa County. His dedication to ensuring fair elections has made him and his team targets of harsh harassment and threats. The episode also contrasts this situation with the increasingly sophisticated "Stop the Steal" movement, which has transformed into a powerful campaign with substantial funding aimed at eroding public trust in election integrity, despite a lack of real evidence for voter fraud. The conversation highlights the personal sacrifices of those who stand up for democratic values and the systemic efforts to spread misinformation.
