Thousands of supporters of former President Donald Trump have been trained to pressure local election officials to refuse to certify the vote ahead of November's election, according to a report from Lawfare.

David Clements, a former law professor, has hosted training sessions across the country, including in battleground states like Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania.

Clements' training events involve simulations of county election board meetings, demonstrating tactics to confront local officials to withhold certification.

Clements has denied encouraging lawlessness or violence, stating that local election officials have the authority to withhold certification if fraud is suspected.

Election workers across the country have been training to prepare for potential threats and confrontations ahead of the election on November 5.
