Two weeks after president Donald Trump's lies about a rigged election culminated in a deadly insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, Vermont's own pied piper of voter fraud, Ethan Allen Institute president Rob Roper, was still at it, trying to foment fears of rampant election crimes in the Green Mountains. "Town clerks shed light on election fraud in Vermont," read the headline on Roper's piece last week in True North Reports, an online publication devoted to conservative fever dreams. It's the same outlet that warned last June: "In towns on Vermont border, Massachusetts State Police watch for Antifa." The only "town" mentioned in the story was Pittsfield, Mass., which actually is a city, where the mayor had issued a memo saying there might be a stepped-up state police presence. That was in response to a claim that antifa forces might be spreading out from large cities to smaller places. Police later traced the bad info to a white supremacist group. And as for right-wing media's grasp on the facts, Pittsfield isn't on the Vermont border. It's 27 miles from it.
