Sally Kohn : Conspiracy theories spread among those who opposed President-elect Donald Trump in 2024 election.

She says election officials have suffered years of being accused of taking part in a massive and impossible conspiracy.

Kohn says the 2024 election will end up seeing the second -highest turnout in any American election in over 100 years , behind only 2020 's record turnout.

David Becker : It's effectively impossible to steal a major election in the U.S. But foreign adversaries and domestic grifters exploit concerns about the security of elections.

They have become masters at leveraging the losing side's disappointment at the outcome to create a fantasy world of election denial.

Becker: Entertaining these delusions could threaten our agency as voters, and puts public servants at risk.
