Scrutineers Online Speaker Series (5:00 PM PACIFIC/8:00 PM EASTERN)
We’re bringing you live, online presentations by three speakers on three consecutive nights. You’re also invited to join us for an online mixer event with all the speakers, where you’ll be able to ask your questions and share your thoughts.
Learn about how powerful forces are trying to manipulate the public to get the election results they want, and how we can take action individually and together to counter these efforts.

How to Understand This Year’s Politics, Scandals, ‘Lawfare’ — Not Just Watch, Fear
with Andrew Kreig
Thursday, September 26 at 5:00 PM PT (8:00 PM ET)
Andrew will be discussing his latest book: The Complete Annotated Durham ‘Russiagate’ Report.
About Andrew:
Author of three books, Andrew Kreig launched in mid-2024 at the National Press Club his latest — which exposes shocking legal abuses, election rigging and ‘Russiagate.’ His message: “Political tricksters, some in cahoots with foreign agents, are spending vast amounts to win this year’s elections, smear opponents and manipulate courts in ‘lawfare’ – war against the public using courts, prosecutors and even judges. Set aside any confusion and anger you may feel. Outwit them. Learn to dig deep, fight back — and get results!”
Earlier, he led the high-tech Wireless Communications Association for twelve years as president and CEO before founding the pro-Democracy, non-partisan, DC-based Justice Integrity Project. Andrew, who started his career as a newspaper reporter, earned law degrees from Yale and the University of Chicago, then served as law clerk to a Boston federal judge before beginning law, communications and non-profit work.
