What does something as wholesome-sounding as a potato roll have to do with the assault on American democracy? The answer is James Martin. The Pennsylvania bread maker is the largest donor by far to the state's far-right Republican nominee for governor, Doug Mastriano.
Martin also contributed to the campaign of Trump-endorsed Jody Hice, the Georgia congressman and election denier who this week failed in his attempt to unseat Brad Raffensperger, the Secretary of State who refused to "find" the 11,000 votes that would help Donald Trump overturn the 2020 election.
