Missouri volunteers say they were harassed by paid GOP canvassers. It's likely the same group accused of forging signatu [View all]
When President Donald Trump called on Republican-controlled states to redraw their congressional maps to favor the GOP, he created a windfall for Patriot Grassroots.
The MAGA-aligned and Donald Trump Jr.-backed campaign firm has raked in millions providing canvassing for the Republican party in states like Utah and Missouri. But its work has been nothing short of controversial.
Earlier this month, the Utah GOP terminated its $4.3 million contract with Patriot Grassroots after a county clerks office determined that hundreds of signatures the firm gathered in support of repealing the states ban on partisan gerrymandering were fraudulent.
Now, new reporting by Democracy Docket suggests that Patriot Grassroots canvassers also crossed a line in Missouri, where volunteers gathering signatures to put a GOP-backed gerrymander to a statewide vote said they were harassed by out-of-state paid agitators outside Kansas City polling places during the November 2025 election.
