How the Election-Denial Mindset Works

Donna Brazile : Election denial in America feels like a stubborn genie refusing to slide back into its bottle.

She says the election denial mindset comes from confusion about the voting process, combined with prolonged exposure to a vortex of misinformation.

Almost one-third of Americans tell pollsters that they continue to believe that the 2020 election was stolen.

David Gergen : Georgia 's election board passed changes to election-certification process.

He says experts fear that the new rules could be used by rogue board members as an excuse to delay certification.

Gergen says delay is a gift for a chaos agent like Donald Trump , who, if he loses, will likely be desperate to stir up trouble.

In Georgia , path for contesting an election runs through courts, and that can only happen once an election has been certified.

The state board will meet on Friday to vote on the proposed regulations.

If they're approved, they will involve, at best, an unnecessary last-minute scramble for election directors like Anne Dover .

Some of Dover ’s poll workers are already threatening to quit if this rule is passed.
