Election deniers want to control the 2024 election. And they're getting closer
CNN
Proponents of Donald Trump's discredited lie about rampant fraud in 2020 are running for positions of authority over election administration in virtually every state expected to decide the 2024 presidential race, an explosive trend dramatically underscored by Tuesday's bitterly contested Georgia Republican primary.
In Georgia, Trump may achieve, at best, only mixed success Tuesday with the slate of election-denier candidates he has endorsed in primaries against Republicans, led by Gov. Brian Kemp and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, who certified President Joe Biden's narrow 2020 win in the state.
But even losses for some of Trump's candidates in Georgia -- and that seems much more likely in the governor than secretary of state race -- wouldn't reverse the larger trend: Republicans across the country are steadily nominating candidates echoing Trump's falsehoods about the 2020 election in contests for governor, attorney general and secretary of state.

A number of Jeffrey Epstein survivors voiced their concern in a private meeting with female Democratic lawmakers earlier this week about the intermittent disclosure of Epstein-related documents and photos by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee, sharing that the selective publication of materials was distressing, four sources familiar with the call told CNN.
