Kari Lake’s “American Hero” Unveils Election Security Plan that Could Land People in Jail
ARIZONA — Last week, Kari Lake’s fellow conspiracy theorists gathered in Springfield, Missouri, for “My Pillow Guy” Mike Lindell’s “Election Crimes Bureau Summit” where Lindell was to reveal his plan to end election fraud which he said he received from God one year ago. Turns out, his plan to fly drones outfitted with “wireless monitoring devices,” or “WMDs,” over polling locations to scrape data on devices with internet access like phones and computers, may get you arrested.
“Kari Lake’s version of an ‘American Hero,’ Mike Lindell, is just like her – a court case losing, election denying grifter who pushes a wacky, illegal, scheme to ‘secure our elections’ that could land people in jail” said Olivia Taylor-Puckett, Senior Communications Advisor at the Arizona Democratic Party.

- Arizona Mirror: “Arizona took the stage at Mike Lindell’s election conspiracy conference this week […] Election denialism is highly lucrative. Kari Lake, who lost her bid for governor last year, raised $2.5 million after Election Day and to this day has continued to raise money for her failed election lawsuits. One of Lake’s attorneys, Kurt Olsen, joined Lindell on stage, alongside disgraced former Gen. Michael Flynn and longtime Trump ally Steve Bannon.”
