UNDATED— Election conspiracy theorists are flooding local election offices with voter challenges and public records requests.
The wave of inquiries is adding to the already heavy workload those offices face as they scramble to prepare for November's elections. Election officials say many of the challenges they're receiving contest the presence on voter rolls of people who are already being removed or have the right to be registered.
At a minimum, it takes time for election offices to record all the challenges, and if some of the targeted voters cast ballots in November, there could be a fight over whether to count their votes.
