This #GivingTuesday, support our investigation into the “Big Lie,” including the bogus voter-fraud myth at its core; the attempts to stop the certification of the 2020 election; the Jan. 6 attacks; new voting-restriction bills; and sham election reviews.

We recently published an in-depth look at the “Big Lie” — that the election was “stolen” from Trump because of voter fraud — and the array of allies who for years have been sowing the seeds of this democracy-undermining lie.

Those allies include his own inner circle of lawyers as well as grassroots leaders; legislators who used the Big Lie to restrict voting rights in their states; deep-pocketed conservative groups; & state attorneys general who backed outlandish legal challenges to the 2020 results.

We trace the origins of the Big Lie, which was built on a decades-long campaign by conservative activists and lawmakers, who hyped up the threat of voter fraud in order to impose restrictive voting laws and to cement their own political power. Watch:

Today’s sham election “audits” and investigations are a continuation of these efforts to cast doubt on the legitimacy of the 2020 election, threatening to weaken confidence in the democratic system for years to come. Read our full report here:
