The Grassroots Efforts To Spread Election Conspiracies

Election misinformation has spread beyond the confines of social media to local, grassroots events taking place throughout the country. An NPR investigation explores the role four prominent election denial influencers have in promoting false claims about the 2020 election, and how the events they hold & the ideas they promote affect election officials — and erode trust in the democratic process.

This episode: political correspondent Danielle Kurtzleben, political correspondent Miles Parks, senior political editor and correspondent Domenico Montanaro.
