‘Take Back the States’: The Far-Right Sheriffs Ready to Disrupt the Election
WiredWhen WIRED asked Mack how many sheriffs were currently members of the CSPOA, he said 300 sheriffs could be described as “really solid.” He would not divulge how many paying members the group has. A 2022 survey conducted by the Marshall Project found that close to 50 percent of the sheriffs polled agreed with the constitutional sheriff mantra that “their own authority, within their counties, supersedes that of the state or federal government.” Many sheriffs have also shied away from publicly aligning themselves with Mack, something the former sheriff readily admits. Bushman also wouldn’t give details of their collaboration, but said: “It's more than just supporting what they're doing.” In multiple conversations with Mack over the last six months, he repeatedly asserted that the CSPOA advocates only for nonviolent action in efforts to combat the alleged widespread voter fraud that is now the group’s driving force. “President Biden and his administration have just caused so much extra work for the sheriffs, it's really hard to get them to focus on elections,” says Mack.
