Natalie Winters expose a network linked to Norm Eisen, a former official under President Obama, that coordinated anti-Trump messaging while maintaining contact with election officials. These memos provide insights into planned strategies for the upcoming midterm elections and were meant to remain private.
• The documents reveal that the Election Safeguards Response Network (ESRN), directed by Eisen, is involved in shaping public messaging against Trump.
• Specific instructions within the memos advise allies on how to amplify election officials' statements and portray federal interventions as overreaches.
• A clear directive is included: avoid addressing claims about non-citizen voting to prevent those claims from receiving attention.
• The documents illustrate how partners within the ESRN are keeping communication lines open with election officials while strategizing public responses.
• The approach is to focus on emotional messaging rather than factual rebuttals, cautioning that responding to Trump’s claims can reinforce misinformation.
• Suggested language for communications includes characterizing claims from Trump and his supporters as desperate attempts to undermine election integrity.
• The memos emphasize not repeating claims about non-citizen voting and direct partners to emphasize statements that frame Trump’s actions negatively.
The release of these memos underscores a strategic approach to managing narratives around upcoming elections, emphasizing communication tactics that appear intended to maintain a specific public perception while avoiding engagement with certain contentious debates. The information raises questions about the transparency and integrity of these election-related communications strategies.
