Cleta Mitchell's election denial network releases new blueprint to severely restrict voting
Cleta Mitchell’s anti-voting group released a sweeping new “model laws” handbook Thursday that urges lawmakers and election officials to severely restrict mail-in voting, eliminate same-day voter registration, impose rigorous ID requirements, conduct mass voter challenges and empower officials to deny and delay certification.
The release by the Election Integrity Network (EIN) marks a dangerous escalation from one of the most influential election denial operations in right-wing politics. It outlines a vision that would transform voting from a fundamental democratic right to a complicated, rule-bound process accessible only to those who can navigate a maze of requirements.
“Today, Election Integrity Network releases the Model Election Laws Handbook,” wrote Mitchell, the lawyer who joined President Donald Trump’s infamous call pressuring Georgia’s chief election official to “find” enough votes to overturn Joe Biden’s 2020 victory, in a post on X. “It is a total framework for repairing the damage done to our election systems by the left.”
The handbook is framed as a state-by-state legislative guide for “election integrity.” But its proposals are rooted in the same distrust of elections and conspiracy-laden claims about fraud, noncitizen voting and corrupt election officials that have animated the GOP’s anti-voting push since 2020.
