About this episode
The seemingly unstoppable conspiracy theory that the 2020 election was stolen from President Trump, “The Big Lie,” has led to direct threats on the lives of U.S. elections workers. VICE News politics reporter Madeleine May investigates who is behind it and how the threat of violence has become a form of protest in the lead up to the 2022 elections.
This episode was reported by Madeleine May and produced by Steph Brown, Sam Greenspan and Sophie Kazis.
