"2020 Election Skeptic Quits Job Amid Backlash from Angry Election Deniers"

Bob Bartelsmeyer, a former election official in Cochise County, Arizona, resigned after facing backlash from election deniers despite his support for Trump's claims of election fraud. His tenure overlapped with a series of events including harassment of election officials, refusal to certify the 2022 midterm election, and near disenfranchisement of voters. His experience reflects the growing hostility faced by election officials, with hundreds leaving their jobs due to harassment and threats. Despite his own skepticism about the 2020 election, Bartelsmeyer emphasizes the need for confidence in the democratic way of elections and expresses concerns about the growing distrust of electronic voting machines.
