This is exactly why we need to stay vigilant about who’s running for these critical offices

Having someone like Kolodin—who’s openly questioned the legitimacy of our elections—trying to oversee them is a massive red flag. It’s not about “election integrity” for these folks, it’s about controlling the outcome when democracy doesn’t go their way. Fontes has been doing his job by protecting voting rights and ensuring fair access, and now the far-right wants to dismantle that progress. Honestly, it’s terrifying how normalized this kind of anti-democratic rhetoric has become. We can't let election deniers gain power over the very systems they want to undermine.
