WASHINGTON, D.C. – Ahead of the midterm elections, All Voting is Local today released “America’s Top 10 Most Dangerous Election Deniers,” a record of the nation’s top 10 federal, state, and local election deniers who currently hold positions of power and could keep eligible voters from voting and block their votes from being counted—all within the larger context of President Donald Trump’s increasingly bold, brazen, and deceitful attempts to claim greater power and control election outcomes before voters even head to the polls. Full list is below. Background is available upon request.
The individuals named on the list, including certain officials, some of whom are currently serving in the White House administration, have taken steps that could alter election outcomes. Examples of steps some of these individuals have taken: refusing to certify elections, remaining silent in the face of violent political rhetoric, supporting legislative efforts like the Voter Elimination Act (SAVE America Act/SAVE Act 2.0) to seize more power over election administration, and coercing state election officials to illegally turn over voter rolls.
“This election-denying authoritarian regime, led by Trump and supported by fake electors and conspiracy theorists, is desperately trying to stop people from voting so they can seize more power and control our elections before we reach the polls,” said Executive Vice President, State Campaigns & Programs, Cynthia Travieso. “These election deniers are doing anything and everything they can to seize power. Trump and his election-denier lapdogs are working overtime to keep eligible American voters from voting and prevent eligible votes from counting by spreading lies and misinformation about previous election outcomes, trying to turn conspiracy theories into law, and creating barriers and burdens for local and state election officials who keep our elections running smoothly, count our votes, and certify elections in accordance with the U.S. Constitution and state laws.”

All Voting’s “America’s Top 10 Most Dangerous Election Deniers” watchlist comes on the heels of President Trump saying “we shouldn’t even have an election” and pushing for changes to voting and no mail-in ballots during the recent State of the Union address. And at the end of February, dozens of prominent federal election officials—known election deniers eager to take over the U.S. midterm elections—gathered at a summit that election experts believe signals another escalation to change the outcomes of elections in November.
