Members of far-right group that put more "boots on the ground" at U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021 , say they're mobilizing.

At least 30 of the 34 active and public Telegram channels operated by Proud Boys have been rallying support for Trump .

It's not clear whether claims that they are watching polls or are embedded as election volunteers will result in any real-world action.

Federal authorities have been swift to strike down misinformation from foreign actors during this cycle.

But they face restraints when it comes to striking down misinformation that emerges from American -based political entities.

Trump has a long history of making false claims about the election, even tweeting after Mitt Romney's loss in 2012 that Americans needed a revolution.
