People gathered at an Omaha hotel ballroom to listen to panelists lay out conspiracy theories about voting machines and rigged election results. It’s a sentiment now shared by millions of people in the U.S.
The subject wasn’t voter registration drives or poll worker volunteer training. Instead, they paid $25 each to listen to panelists lay out conspiracy theories about voting machines and rigged election results. In language that sometimes leaned into violent imagery, some panelists called on those attending to join what they framed as a battle between good and evil.
Among those in the audience was Melissa Sauder, who drove nearly 350 miles from the small western Nebraska town of Grant with her 13-year-old daughter. After years of combing internet sites, listening to podcasts and reading conservative media reports, Sauder wanted to learn more about what she believes are serious problems with the integrity of U.S. elections.
She can’t shake the belief that voting machines are being manipulated even in her home county, where then-President Donald Trump won 85% of the vote in 2020. “I just don’t know the truth because it’s not open and apparent, and it’s not transparent to us,” said Sauder, 38. “We are trusting people who are trusting the wrong people.”

There comes a time in jobs, life phases, or relationships where you know an arc has reached its end. Knowing how to end well will become an increasingly valuable skill. Third, letting “the inside out.” Self-knowledge is a hard-won reward of aging. As you get to know yourself better, how do you want to spend your time? Fourth, letting “the outside in.” In other words, before you make a major transition, test it out and get some feedback from the world. Is this new thing what you thought it would be? And finally, learn to take the leap, because thinking and testing will only get you so far. Now that we have a few extra decades to test our wings, the real challenge may be remembering that it’s never too late to fly.
