More than half of Republican candidates for either Congress or key state positions in next month’s US midterms question the legitimacy of the 2020 presidential election results. This raises fears of further challenges to the democratic process in both the midterms and the 2024 presidential elections.
Supporters of Donald Trump launched a bloody attack on the Capitol on January 6, 2021 to try and prevent Joe Biden’s confirmation as the winner of the 2020 presidential elections. Biden was inaugurated two weeks later – but Trump’s mendacious claims of having won the election still create a sore at the heart of the American body politic.
The US is still as divided as ever ahead of the midterms on November 8. There are some exceptions – but by and large Republican candidates have lined up behind the party’s Trumpist faction. Even though Trump is excluded from social networks, fake news is still rampant. Republican candidates have shared more links to unreliable news sources this year than they did in 2020, according to New York University’s Center for Social Media and Politics.
As the possibility of Trump running again in 2024 hangs over America, his false claim that the 2020 vote was stolen has become entrenched. Some 70 percent of his Republican supporters believe it. And it is commonplace for Republican midterm candidates to propagate this untruth.
But most of the election deniers are on track to win, according to The Washington Post’s calculation. And some are potential stars.

A recent poll shows that 55% of Americans believe fraud affected the outcome of 2020 elections.
So it ain’t just Republicans.
On the new Twitter, if it operates as proposed by Musk, "election deniers" will be presenting their evidence every day.
This entire article is so Orwellian.
Ya mean from the CRIME DENIERS? How abt THAT dems.
I would venture to guess that most of the world believe that the 2020 election was stolen.
Democrats deny the legitimacy of any election they do not win.
Trump’s “mistake” was being upset about an election that the Democrats “won”. That right there is a threat to “our democracy”.
It’s just different when the Democrats do it. They believe they are right about everything and therefore ought to win 100% of the time.
Note to France’s Deep State: Consider how France counts its votes, you really don’t wanna go there...
And not just ours...

Yona HELAOUA, graduated journalism school in 2011. She was 10 or 12 years old when 9/11 hit. And she -knows- the election wasn’t stolen! She’s really really sure!
And she has a blue check so she’s an important libtard too!
Remember half the country has an IQ above 100.
The ghost of Trump-mas yet to come!
Standard Yurp media propaganda.
The left is panicked that all the brain washing and gas lighting isn’t working. If they can’t convince the masses to submit to Big Brother, they’re in big trouble. If we win, I want to a campaign a revenge against the left. It’s not enough to vote them out, I want the left to be severely punished.
This coordinated effort is all part of the stolen election ‘22.
The fundamental goal of democratic elections is that voters believe in the honesty of the results.
Calling the half of the country that doesn’t believe an election was honest “election deniers” does not accomplish this goal.
They stole the 2020 election and even if you know it was stolen you have to shut up and believe it was not stolen or else.
You have to affirm their criminal activity or be punished.
They can only win by cheating. They have nothing positive to campaign on because the US is a disastrous dump of democrat making.
So they will cheat to keep power and you better shut up and accept it.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t supporters of Hillary Clinton wage much more bloody and damaging riots across the country, claiming that DJT had stolen the 2016 election and we’re encouraged by that skanky bitch by her never-ending claims that DJT was an illegitimate president?
How many candidates are on the ballots in this election that supported that ARMED and VIOLENT insurrection? As always, selective “journalism” again . . .
