2022 - 4: Plot to Overturn the Election

A year after President Joe Biden's inauguration, more than two-thirds of Republican voters believe his election was illegitimate.

Yet the story of how lies about election fraud made their way to the center of American politics has not been entirely told. 

In a new investigative collaboration, FRONTLINE and ProPublica trace the hidden sources of disinformation about the 2020 election, demonstrating how a handful of people have had an outsized impact on the current U.S. crisis of democratic legitimacy.
