Mullin Threatens Election Officials
Mullin threatens jail time for local election officials
Mullin has threatened local election officials with jail time, referencing a 2020 incident in which Iran-linked hackers gained access to a voter registration database in Alaska, as reported by The New York Times. This incident involved the creation of a video purporting to show hackers using the data to fraudulently cast overseas ballots, although the voting seen in the video was faked and never actually took place, according to Trump administration officials at the time and a Justice Department indictment of two Iranians connected to the scheme. The issue of election security is particularly relevant in light of other recent fraud cases, such as the \$225M fraud schemes found in US schools and the NYC senior daycare fraud exposed, which highlight the need for vigilance in protecting public institutions from financial crime, much like the Trump teleprompter operator probed for insider trading.
