We saw it more.

Recently, just a little while ago, when Mike Lindell lost the Republican primary for governor.

uh in Minnesota.

He's kind of long pushed election conspiracy theories uh connected to President Trump, tried to do it again in that election, and we haven't really seen evidence that people latch on to those theories in the same way with other candidates when they aren't President Trump.

To Eric's point about the fact that there was this failure of imagination from Democrats, I think generally in the election of official community it's the same thing that there is

There was they learned a lot from that experience and have been game planning a lot.

S the the biggest thing to me is that their relationships for local voting officials, their relationships with law enforcement now are in a whole different place.

I mean, ten years ago they didn't necessarily have their local sheriff on speed dial and they are working in conjunction uh in across the country now.

Right.

So the idea of trying to that to get them to activate in the way that we saw that activation in twenty twenty for a close house race, for instance, I'm not ruling it out completely, but you can kind of see it's it would be a a little bit more of a difficult sell potentially.

I think if you only listen to the clips in terms of how people are talking about it, you might come away feeling that way.

But I would say no at this point, that generally speaking, the election denial that we see from President Trump has not really seeped down to the local and state level overall.

I mean, there are pockets here and there.

I d I want to be very clear.

But overall, there are, especially even among Republicans, I would say Republicans are not as loud po because politically speaking, it's a lot more.

dangerous if you're elected Republican to come out against President Trump loudly before the election uh at this point.

But you know, we've seen states as red as West Virginia and Idaho, for instance, push back and say they're not going to give their state voter roll data, that it would be illegal to do that, to give that to the Department of Justice.

And I think that can kind of serve as a little bit of a proxy that

State officials, even in deep red places, are not just going along with with Trump willy-nilly at this point.

But they're hypotheticals that have been brought up because people i close to the president, including the president himself, have not disavowed some of these hypotheticals.
