'Constitutional' sheriffs are now major backers of Trumpian election hoaxes

One of the many, many, many reasons to fear for the safety of democracy in the United States is that there is something called a "constitutional sheriffs" movement, which continues not to be laughed out of existence despite all practitioners of the theory being absolute whackadoodles. The good news is that it's relatively small. The bad news is that, like every other conspiracy movement of the last few decades, it's now being folded into general-form Republicanism and, especially, the fascist wing of the party.
