(CNN)As former President Donald Trump prepares for a potential comeback bid in 2024, his allies are flocking to election jobs all the way down to the local level in key battleground states, raising new concerns that the election officials who blocked Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election won't be there the next time around.
Trump himself has endorsed candidates for secretary of state and attorney general -- statewide races that play a crucial role in administering elections -- who have spread his lies about 2020. But in addition to statewide roles, Trump's acolytes are pursuing local election posts, even trickling down to the precinct level, and seeking to gain more prominent roles in state GOP parties and state legislatures ahead of the 2024 presidential campaign.
In Michigan, for instance, several new Republican appointees to county canvassing boards who have said they wouldn't have certified the 2020 election are replacing the GOP members who did certify the election result. One appointee in Macomb County urged Trump after the election to invoke the Insurrection Act and suspend the Electoral College meeting to set up military tribunals to investigate claims of election fraud.
Michigan is a microcosm of a broader, nationwide strategy being carried out by Trump allies like Steve Bannon, who has advocated for Trump's backers to infiltrate local Republican Party positions as well as election posts.
"We're taking over the Republican Party through the precinct committee strategy. We're taking over all the elections," Bannon said on an episode of his "War Room" podcast last month

Just reversing what the Democrats spent the last 50 years doing. In order to come back to the middle, you have to go from one extreme to the other which is what Trump is admirably doing.
I sure hope so.
Can I say F CNN?
Start with Mitch $ McCarthy
How will this be any different than last time as far as voting? (Other than no Pence) Nothing has been fixed. Just wishful thinking.
Beautiful......Trump is on it like white on rice.
CNN LOL! Whiners doing what whiners do!
Sure never heard from CNN about all of the lies Hillary and her surrogates spread about 2016
CNN hosts are angling for any jobs.
They need to learn to code
The Communist News Network would not care if their viewership dropped below 1,000 world wide, the propaganda must flow!
.
Let’s go Fredo?
There will just be more people that have to be locked out while the votes are being “counted “!
One hopes that when Trump gets back in he will be a hell of a lot more selective in picking folks who are really loyal to him.
Hahah, they used the word infiltrate. They aren’t even trying to hide the bias.
“In Michigan, for instance, several new Republican appointees to county canvassing boards who have said they wouldn’t have certified the 2020 election are replacing the GOP members who did certify the election result.”
I love this. Conservatives need to destroy the moderates, aka RINOs, in the Republican party. Take no prisoners.
Let’s Go CNN!
“

And let’s hope he cranks up lots of “You’re fired!”
I’m starting to think Trump lost on purpose. Not only did it completely motivate the base, but now there’s a lot to investigate if the right people are put in power. It should be an interesting few years ahead.
