Shaye Moss, who we'll hear from at today's #January6thHearing is a former GA poll worker who suffered targeted harassment including death threats from the Trump campaign to steal the 2020 election. @mattshuham reported this in The Franchise last July talkingpointsmemo.com/newsletter/the…
@mattshuham Moss and her mother Ruby Freeman were poll workers in Atlanta on Election Day 2020. When the Trump campaign later attempted to steal the state’s Electoral College votes, their strategy included presenting a misleadingly edited video to Georgia lawmakers ⬇️
One that showed Moss and Freeman doing regular election work — and claiming that it showed a massive fraud operation. The campaign posted the same misleading video on Twitter, making public targets of the pollworkers ⬇️
Moss and Freeman later sued the right-wing conspiracy news outlets, One America News Network and Gateway Pundit (they’ve settled with the former), so we have some idea of the wave of death threats and harassment that followed ⬇️
It was terrifying, and included among other things a crowd surrounding Freeman’s house on Jan. 6.
