Cleta Mitchell, a Republican election lawyer, is at center of Republican-backed dark money groups to enact new voting restrictions in time for the 2024 elections.
She is now working through the “Election Integrity Network” (part of the Conservative Partnership Network) to persuade Red states to drop the proven ERIC system of voter validation and adopt a wholly untested private system ("Eagle AI") prejudicing voters who have recently moved, which wrongly disenfranchises voters (including college students in swing and other states) having recently moved. According to Axios, Trump authorized a $1 million donation from his PAC to support Mitchell’s work. Mitchell seeks to disenfranchise

Under the guidance of Trump lawyer Cleta Mitchell, the “Election Integrity Network” has built what it calls “permanent election integrity infrastructure” in swing states staffed with people fully committed to election conspiracies. After recruiting thousands of election workers and poll watchers in the 2022 cycle, Election Integrity Network coalitions are now mobilizing far-right activists to advance restrictive voting policies in key states.
Mitchell supported Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election, including joining the infamous call when the president urged Georgia’s top election official to “find” 11,780 votes.
The Nework is the progeny of the Conservative Partnership Institute (CPI), the $45 million MAGA institution led by former Trump White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows.
In states like Georgia, North Carolina, Florida, Arizona, Pennsylvania, and Michigan, CPI’s Election Integrity Network has organized coalitions of election conspiracy theorists, drawing from national groups like Tea Party Patriots and Heritage Action, as well as a range of fringe state-based groups, like Audit the Vote PA and Stand Up Michigan, and with support from local, state, and national GOP officials and entities.

Mr. Clark caused outrage among his [Trump Justice Department] colleagues by advancing false election fraud claims and seeking to intervene in the presidential election in Georgia. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/08/14/us/politics/trump-georgia-indictment-key-players
[Scott] Perry was deeply involved in the attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 election. He connected former president Trump with Jeffrey Clark, the environmental lawyer for the Department of Justice (DOJ) who supported Trump’s claims.
Clark allegedly circulated a letter encouraging state officials in Georgia to decertify their election results. He was Trump’s pick for attorney general when William Barr declined to pursue vote fraud claims., and would have become acting attorney general if the leadership of the DOJ hadn’t threatened to resign as a group if Trump appointed him.
Clark was subpoenaed by the Jan. 6 committee in October, and refused to answer questions during a deposition. Clark was reported to have invoked the Fifth Amendment more than 100 times when he testified again in February, according to CNN. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/jeffrey-clark-jan-6-panel-seeks-make-trumps-man-doj-famous Learn More
Ward, chair of the Arizona G.O.P., fought to overturn President Biden's electoral victory in Arizona, and was a part of a bogus slate of electors, which she celebrated on YouTube at the time:
“We believe that we are the electors for the legally cast votes here in Arizona,” she said in a video posted Dec. 15, 2020.
“Ward participated in a scheme to send spurious electoral votes to Congress, a scheme that the committee describes as ‘a key part’ of the ‘effort to overturn the election’ that culminated on Jan. 6,” the two judges wrote.
They added that Ms. Ward had invoked her Fifth Amendment rights when the committee sought to question her. “Having attempted the less intrusive method of asking Ward directly,” the two judges wrote, “the committee has a strong interest in pursuing its investigation by other means.”

Key Takeaways on Heritage's False Cry of Election Fraud
1. Heritage's “Election Fraud Database” is a sham, providing zero evidence of voting fraud changing election outcomes.
2. That sham claim is, in turn, the basis for Heritage Action's “Factsheet,” the acknowledged blueprint for the new vote-suppressing laws adopted in 19 Red states, disingenuously promoted as ensuring “election integrity” .
Forty years ago, Paul Weyrich, who helped establish the Heritage Foundation, admitted, “I don’t want everybody to vote. As a matter of fact, our leverage in the elections quite candidly goes up as the voting populace goes down.” Learn More
“Marble Freedom Trust is Leonard Leo’s billion-dollar slush fund to erode democracy”
In 2018, during a live event, Justice Clarence Thomas joked about how honored he was to be sharing the stage with Mr. Leo, calling him “the No. 3 most powerful person in the world.” In 2020, Leo left the leadership of the conservative Federalist Society to become chairman of a company called CRC Advisors, which advises and helps manage conservative nonprofits. In 2021, Leo became “a kingmaker in conservative big money politics” as the trustee and chairman of the new $1.6 billion Marble trust, a political non-profit organization, created and funded by a 90-year old electronics manufacturing mogul, effectively giving Leo “the power to shape elections and political fights.” https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/22/us/politics/republican-dark-money.html Learn More
