For more than a year and a half the crusade to keep Donald Trump’s cult convinced that the 2020 election was “rigged”<\/em> has been supported by right-wing media outlets including Fox News, Newsmax and One America News Network (OAN).

The results of this investigation indicate that Ruby Freeman and Wandrea \u2018Shaye\u2019 Moss did not engage in ballot fraud or criminal misconduct while working at State Farm Arena on election night. A legal matter with this network and the two election workers has been resolved to the mutual satisfaction of the parties through a fair and reasonable settlement.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
