Trump’s “Big Lie” is still going strong in Pennsylvania

Our PA newsroom covers the lasting effects of Trump’s “stolen election” conspiracy [Courier]( Friend, It’s been over three years since Donald Trump, his MAGA cronies, and the right-wing media started the “Big Lie,” the stolen election conspiracy that led to January 6th and the widespread belief among Republicans that Joe Biden stole the 2020 election. In the pivotal swing state of Pennsylvania, the Big Lie is still going strong. Our team at The Keystone had the story: The Keystone, February 15, 2024 [We’ll explain more in just a second, but if you’re ready to support our news teams and their vital coverage of misinformation and its effects on our democracy, can you give $10 or whatever you can?]( Last week, two Republican county commissioners voted to eliminate ballot drop boxes in Lebanon County, even though county residents favored keeping them. The commissioners cited “voting irregularities” and “dropbox issues” – explicit references to Trump’s election lies from 2020 – in their vote. The Pennsylvania story shows the destructive long-term effect that election lies and conspiracy theories have on our democracy if they go unchecked. That’s why we’re proud of The Keystone’s essential local coverage. With Donald Trump running again and the 2024 election season in full swing, defending democracy from right-wing attacks starts with stories like this one, where election lies and conspiracies are exposed in real time before they can spread. It takes tremendous resources to keep The Keystone and COURIER’s nine other battleground newsrooms doing this vital work. That’s why we’re humbly asking for your support today.
