Executive Summary
Has previously used election denialism rhetoric while speaking in Knox County “They have an agenda and they do and will steal an election. Look, I don’t know if they stole it or not. But I do know that there was fraud. I don’t know how much and you and I deserve the answer to that question. Because if we don’t get the answer, they will steal it in the future and I know that to be true. Do I think it was stolen? Yes. Can I prove it? No.” [YouTube, 13:39, 5/11/21] Andy Olges even slammed a voting machine company named by Donald Trump. Even the Trump campaign knew those claims were lie. “Williamson County…they use the Dominion voting machine. (crowd groans) There’s a push to change those out and locally they are doing an audit of their own machines to try to figure out was there anything? Any monkey business locally? We’re a red state. So probably not. But Georgia, New Mexico, you name it. [YouTube, 14:36, 5/11/21]
