Maricopa County recorder sought DHS support in war on purported election misinformation in media – By Natalia Mittelstadt (Just The News) / Dec 8, 2022
Briefing federal information warriors on election “misinformation,” Stephen Richer proposed Homeland Security cybersecurity arm “hold bootcamps for media representatives such as FOX News or CNN to enhance media’s understanding of how elections are administered,” reveals internal agency report.
Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer, who started a PAC to support anti-Trump Republican candidates, sought support from the Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) — incuding funding, intelligence, and collaboration with social media — in election officials’ often controversial efforts to combat purported election misinformation, according to a newly released internal agency report.
On Wednesday, Christina Bobb, attorney for Donald Trump for President 2024, posted a CISA report on Twitter recapping Richer’s March appearance before the DHS agency’s Protecting Critical Infrastructure from Misinformation and Disinformation Subcommittee to brief the members on combating election misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation.
Bobb told Real America’s Voice’s “War Room” TV show on Wednesday that she was given the documents to publish by Arizona GOP gubernatorial nominee Kari Lake’s attorneys, who “obtained it through legal discovery.”
Well look at what we found!! Turns out @CISAgov has been collaborating with Maricopa County @stephen_richer to censor election information and keeping it from the public. Notice it’s marked FOUO. Richer also started a Super PAC to take down “election deniers”……. pic.twitter.com/xdrIJWJBHU
