A Christian political operative has teamed up with charismatic preachers to enroll election skeptics as poll workers across the country.

Joshua Standifer , who leads the group called Lion of Judah , describes the effort as a “ Trojan horse” strategy to get Christians in “key positions of influence in government like Election Workers” The group’s website prominently features Trump and his false claim that the 2020 election was rife with voter fraud.

The Lion of Judah training program reflects a push, by the Trump campaign and its allies, to insert election-doubting Trump supporters into key roles during the 2024 presidential election.

The Republican National Committee announced earlier this year that it planned to recruit 100,000 poll watchers as part of its “election integrity plan”.
