“It’s sort of nuts.'
Matthew Rodier/TNSFor almost two years now, her inbox has been inundated with public records requests from people who falsely believe the 2020was stolen. Thanks to a handful of online conspiracy theorists, though, this has been the worst week yet — not just for Adona, but for many election officials around the state.
Every one of the requests, which are often copy/pasted from templates distributed by influencers peddling falsehoods about the 2020 election, must be carefully reviewed and responded to. Several counties have had to hire outside assistance to sort through the swarm, which officials told SFGATE is a labor-intensive distraction from their work preparing for the upcoming elections this year.
Many of the requests sent this week have demanded that recipients maintain all records related to the 2020 election, under threat of a theoretical lawsuit about election fraud. Doing so may go against state law, which requires elections offices to destroy election-related material after 22 months unless they’re needed as part of an active court case. For records related to the last presidential election, that deadline was Sept. 3.
