While much attention has been paid to Donald Trump’s continuing fixation on denying the results of the 2020 presidential election and the possibility of a repeat in 2024, a more immediate threat to democracy is looming: an alarming number of Republicans across the country are now gearing up to cast doubt on the outcome of the midterm elections this November.
The New York Times reports that “six Republican nominees for governor and the Senate in key midterm states … would not commit to accepting the November outcome.” Five others refused to answer the question. The Washington Post found a similar thing in its own survey of candidates running for governor and Senate in battleground states.
Allegations of chicanery in state and local elections are almost as old as the Republic, as are false claims about election integrity.
But candidates announcing in advance that they will not accept election results is unprecedented.
It is an alarming reminder of the growing authoritarianism in many parts of the Republican Party and the threat it poses to American democracy

Wouldn’t conducting elections in a fair and transparent, above-the-board manner put an end to these “unfounded” claims of stolen elections?
Democrats LIE AND CHEAT, its what they do.
“TRANSLATION: “The Demonocrats have ...”
My translation: the incoming ballots and counting need to be watched very closely.
Plus they are Demonically Possessed.
How is demanding honest elections a ‘threat to democracy’?
Since the Election Theft of 2020 has not been addressed in any serious manner at all, what on earth would make anybody think that it can’t and won’t happen again? Seriously.
Don’t fall for the propaganda. It’s nothing but bait.
Can you smell the fear? They are panicking.
This piece is pure propaganda.
“Can’t even find an American to write that story?”
A commentator said, “Try this. Say the names of any three previous presidents and then say Barak Obama. Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Franklin Roosevelt...Barak Obama.
That’s the problem right there.”
No King but Jesus?
Thanks for the intel, Austin.
If the dark side knew what it were doing, it wouldn't do that.
Well, what can you do, but just sit back and watch.
AUSTIN SARAT - This is what a Anti-Trumper media author looks like...
So basically some Republicans are taking Hillary Clintons advice to Biden and not to concede no matter what?
*shrug*
And about that Gore V Bush election... do leftists STILL insist Bush was selected not elected? that seems to have gone down the media memory hole!
This guy is a Cliche of Cliches.
Gets a series of degress so that he can teach others to get a series of degrees . . .
Been in elite Higher Ed since the mid 1960’s.
Never had a paying job outside of that, but also grifted a bit more Tax Dollars through Fed gigs.
He offers nothing in this discussion other than standard Leftist Talking Points like Orange Man Bad, and MAGA Republicans Bad, but couched in clever phrasing.
Represents all that is wrong with Higher Ed and American Education.
The quick solution to that is:
NEVER! let the RATs touch the ballots.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
Panic Porn from a Partisan Media Shill and Stooge alert.
The garbage owner of the garbage The Hill will host the Walker-Warnock debate.
It is when "democracy" means "the RAT gravy train".
America woke up the next morning and some demented pedophile who campaigned from his basement and couldn’t draw 100 people to any event was installed as president. His Veep candidate had an event in Phoenix and NO ONE showed up but the local news teams.
I think Trump has the goods on a lot of Deep State criminals and a second term for him just wasn’t going to happen no matter what. Explains now why there’s still 24/7 TDS from the State Media now, almost 2 years later.
COWPIE!
