Kane County clerk says concerns about local elections based on 'misinformation' calls election deniers 'sociopaths.'
Kane County Clerk Jack Cunningham said Thursday a group of residents suspicious of fraud and fearful of liberal influences in local elections are"indoctrinated" and"sociopaths." But at the same time, Cunningham announced he will work toward a key change those same people have been calling for.
During a county board committee meeting on Thursday, Cunningham told the raucous opponents their concerns about the money are based on"listening to misinformation and malinformation." Cunningham, who is a Republican, said he will use the $2 million to hire police officers to work at polling places on Election Day. He will also create an educational program designed to address the claims of people questioning election integrity. He said neither his office nor the county board has accepted or will accept any money in trade for compromising local elections.
"There are real people out there who want to destroy our country," Cunningham said."The best thing they can do to destroy it is knock down your faith in the electoral process. Be careful you're not aiding and abetting Russia and people putting out the stuff I'm hearing here today."
