For what? There's loads of stuff in there.

Summary of a few things including that republicans in Iowa have shortened the early voting window and the hours of voting on election day - https://www.reuters.com/world/us/republicans-erect-voting-ba...

Mark Finchem, republican candidate for secretary of state in Arizona, backing fake electors - https://www.azcentral.com/story/opinion/op-ed/laurieroberts/...

Finchem promotes the big lie and says he will use his prospective position (which AFAICT includes responsibility for administering the election) to "make sure that Arizona is the Red State it REALLY is!" - https://twitter.com/derekwillis/status/1403143345132781569

It's true, that last one is perhaps not as cut-and-dried as it could be, there's some wiggle room in there, but to me the intention looks clear. It's fecking crazy to me that a partisan, elected official has anything to do with running the elections in the first place... but there we are.

I'm sure you can find more stuff like this if you look. Of course I'm sure that there are all sorts of excuses and justifications out there for why this is all totally reasonable, or why the 'other side' are just as bad. It's not clear to me they are though, at least, not when it comes to trying to actually undermine democracy itself.
