Election Integrity Network urges followers to question nursing homes over fraud claims
Cleta Mitchell's Election Integrity Network is telling supporters to call and email nursing homes, care homes and assisted-living facilities ahead of the midterms, alleging without evidence that left-wing groups are manipulating residents' ballots. The group has distributed a toolkit and shared maps identifying care facilities in competitive congressional districts, calling residents potential targets for "political predators." Mitchell cited a disputed 2020 Wisconsin case, rejected by the state's election commission, as justification; neither she nor the network responded to requests for comment.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The campaign extends a pattern of unsubstantiated fraud claims—previously focused on noncitizen voting and mail-in ballots—into a new setting involving elderly and disabled voters, who could face added scrutiny or intimidation as a result. Because the allegations lack evidence and the cited case was dismissed by official reviewers, the effort may primarily serve to sow distrust in midterm results rather than uncover actual fraud, according to the pattern described by critics of election denial groups.
- The Election Integrity Network is urging supporters to contact nursing homes over unproven fraud claims.
- The group cites a 2020 Wisconsin case that state election officials rejected as evidence.
- The campaign includes maps targeting care facilities in competitive congressional districts across several states.
