As conspiracy theorists continue to spew disinformation about the Big Lie of a stolen election, local election officials have faced an unprecedented surge of partisan attacks. Recent reports from the Brennan Center show that election workers are being harassed and threatened as they carry out their basic duties — some have even received death threats that name their young children.
