The obstruction findings presented in this subsection document a multi-channel pattern of conduct in which officials, agencies, and aligned actors across multiple jurisdictions systematically impeded the lawful oversight, investigation, and auditing of the 2020 election. This obstruction did not arise from isolated administrative failures — it manifested consistently and across distinct mechanisms: the denial, delay, and destruction of election records in response to lawful FOIA and Right-to-Know requests; the physical exclusion of credentialed challengers and poll watchers from counting centers; the issuance of directives that exceeded statutory authority to constrain forensic reviews; and the deployment of prosecutorial and disciplinary tools against those who raised election-integrity concerns.
