Two different pro-Trump groups are plotting a new campaign aimed at the mass purge of voter rolls in key swing states, and Wired reports that their overarching goal will be to "intimidate and harass voters and election officials."

The groups in question are True the Vote, which has become notorious for pushing evidence-free claims about election fraud in the 2020 race, and the America Project, which was founded by disgraced former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn.

According to Wired, "in recent weeks, these groups have held training sessions about how to organize on a hyperlocal level to monitor polling places and drop boxes, challenge voter registrations en masse, and intimidate and harass voters and election officials."

The report adds that "some are preparing to roll out new technology to fast-track all of these efforts: One of the groups claims they’re launching a new platform for checking voter rolls that contains billions of 'data elements' on every single US citizen."

The problem that these groups have, however, is that they have not once turned up evidence of mass fraud that would have overturned the results of the 2020 election, which former President Donald Trump lost to President Joe Biden.

Nonetheless, Wired reports that True the Vote's Catherine Engelbrecht recently told true believers that they were on the verge of cracking the election fraud code during a conference in Denver where she gave a speech that was also loaded with "election conspiracies, references to crystals, Christian nationalist rhetoric, and militaristic jargon."
