( NewsNation ) — A watchdog group has identified 35 “rogue election officials” from nearly every battleground state who previously refused to certify election results and “may be in a position to do so again.”
A report from Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) lists dozens of officials and their positions. It focuses on Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Michigan, the eight states where officials have refused to certify elections since 2020.
CREW also identified legal solutions to election certification challenges, including “emergency court orders to compel compliance with the law, criminal charges to punish and deter misconduct and legal procedures to remove obstructionist officials from their county positions.”
