An “ELECTION CRIME” group helmed by #MyPillow founder #Mike #Lindell sent out emails
requesting personal information from local election officials as well as information about security programs designed to detect threats in those counties.
Lindell is a prolific supporter of #election #denial causes and one of the most prominent voices of a movement that falsely claims the 2020 election, which Donald Trump lost to President Joe Biden, was beset with widespread fraud.
On Sept. 5, the Lindell-backed group, the "Election Crime Bureau", emailed at least one Georgia county
requesting they take a survey about the Center for Internet Security (CIS), a nonprofit focused on cybersecurity, and its Elections Infrastructure Information Sharing and Analysis Center, an initiative funded by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to protect local election offices.
The survey asked election officials to provide personal information such as their home addresses and cell phone numbers.
It also queried whether the counties are using monitoring systems, called “Albert” and “Falcon,” developed by CIS to help counties detect online threats to election systems.
