On Christmas Eve 2020, Guy Reffitt sent a text to his family group chat. He was furious about the outcome of the 2020 election \u2014 which he believed was stolen from former President Donald Trump. \u201cToo many lines have been crossed,\u201d he wrote. \u201cToo many years this happened. We are about to rise up the way the Constitution was written.\u201d
That\u2019s when his son, Jackson Reffitt, went to his room and filed a tip to the FBI.
