What is #electionsubversion?
"Efforts to undermine elections are as old as American democracy itself. But they’ve never been seen with this ferocity and at a nationwide scale. Most prominently, President Trump and his allies attempted to subvert the 2020 presidential election by pressuring state officials and members of Congress to interfere with the certification process."
