A conservative group led by former Trump national security adviser and election denier Michael Flynn is trying to recruit thousands of police officers to work as poll monitors on Election Day—and reaching out to QAnon conspiracy theorists to aid in its recruitment effort.

Dubbed “One More Mission,” the group bills itself as a nonpartisan effort to recruit military veterans, as well as police officers and other emergency workers, to monitor polls in an effort to “defend our Constitutional right to vote.”

“Our team wanted to find an apolitical solution, a business solution, if you will,” a man in one recruitment video says.

One More Mission’s promotional materials argue that police and veterans are the most trusted figures in the United States and that they should therefore be used to certify to the public that elections are legitimate. In a late September press release announcing its launch, the group claimed to be a politically independent solution to fears of voter fraud.

“This is just an opportunity for those guys to continue the mission in protecting the integrity of our Constitution,” Travis Wilson, a former Green Beret turned supplement company owner who also works with One More Mission, told The Daily Beast.

1. IMO, flynn's the one to watch, for the WORST news.

He's ORGANIZING.

[SheltieLover]

5. He is an intl embarrassment to our military!

Belongs in a steel cage for life.

[elleng]

6. Yes, I agree, but he's not heading there soon, imo.

Frontline did a special, and he's on the move.

[sakabatou]

2. He's hiring people to intimidate voters

[Duncanpup]

4. Hello U.C.M.J. Bueller bueller bueller

I’ve been waiting call Flynn’s ass back and court martial him and mastriano.

[Botany]

7. They can't do shit

n/t

[SergeStorms]

17. They can harass and intimidate people....

and dare someone to do something about it. Who are you going to call, a cop? He's standing right in front of you, harassing voters.

There aren't enough election workers to go around. There certainly aren't enough to stop these fascist pieces of shit from bothering voters waiting to vote.

This shit is going to get ugly, fast.

[CrispyQ]

8. I'm sure the DOJ is all over this. NOT. -nt

[idahoblue]

9. Maybe it is time to do the same.

Find out where these cretins will be, have our own people there. Know where poll watchers will be so we can have our own poll watchers. Why do we need to just whine, cry and do nothing?

19. +1000

[iluvtennis]

10. Watch the polls for what. This is nothing but a ploy to attempt to validate the big lie.

[Diraven]

11. What do they mean by "monitor"?

What kind of harassment could they engage in that wouldn't get them in trouble with the law?

[OldBaldy1701E]

14. Well, the 'law' has to see it

Or at least get good witness information. If those goons have made their intentions clear (if not exactly openly visible), it is possible that no one will stand up to them, especially when the people speaking against you are those 'good American' cops and former military. Then what?

(Unlike myself, who would gladly sit in a jail cell for a while in exchange for busting a few heads that would dare to get in my way of performing my duty as an American voter.)

12. I don't know how it's done in much of the country...

but here in VT and down south in TN and NC, poll workers are not to be trifled with. Retired grandmothers will throw their asses out.

[AntivaxHunters]

13. So this is an example of them them I think

Read the thread folks!!!!!
Time to send the feds in!
