Chuck- you won’t know what hit you - and the rest are Election Deniers
Hakeem Jeffries, Election Denier

According to the political website FiveThirtyEight, “the vast majority of election-denying candidates who lost their races have conceded.” They no more deserve applause than would arsonists who, at the last minute, decide to fight the fire that they had set.
But unlike these candidates, Kari Lake, the two-fisted, election-denying Republican nominee for governor of Arizona, adamantly refuses to concede even though the Associated Press declared that she lost the election by 17,000 votes. No surprise there because Lake had vowed during the campaign only to accept a result in which she was the winner — in other words, “heads I win, tails the election was rigged.” To emphasize her election-denying grit, Lake’s campaign recently began playing on social media the late Tom Petty’s song, “I won’t back down.”
Time will tell whether the 2022 midterms were the Gettysburg of election denial, the kind of battlefield defeat that in hindsight was a turning point. But, as the midterms demonstrated, election denial is certainly losing traction. Its adherents’ most realistic hope of a revival depends on a replay of 2020 in which Donald Trump, as the Republican nominee, loses the 2024 general election in a tight race and then uses election denial to rouse his MAGA mercenaries, at least those no longer serving prison terms, and the lunatic conspiracy theorists, to stop the electoral certification. It will be harder in 2024 since Trump won’t be rabble-rousing from a presidential perch and President Biden will have considerable means available to prevent a Jan. 6 replay.
Without Trump, election denial has no future as a political strategy. Other prominent Republicans simply can’t conjure upon fake realities the way he can, as evidenced by the flop of Kari Lake’s one-woman election denial show.

P
TDS at its worst.
Anyone else see a problem here??
Yeah, Gregory Wallace is concerned about democracy and knows what happened in Maricopa County was a fair election. Media frauds.
Half the population thinks our elections are rigged.
Here’s a novel thought..... quit F’n cheating in any election, you frackin turdbird commie rat basstid shiite-f’rs.
Just remember—if you report a bank robbery in progress you are a “bank withdrawal denier”.....
Half the population thinks our elections are rigged.
And the other half isn’t paying attention.
Why is there always a problem with vote counting in Maricopa county? Maybe Gregory Wallace should question that? If something stinks, it’s usually rotten.
I would climb The Hill just to barf on it.
Here’s the thing. The collective we ( the establishment ) can pretend that this new way of voting and counting votes, which now takes weeks, is a system working flalessly. But those observing ths USA from outside, many our allies, see things for what they are. And our allies are scared because the USA is a failed democracy. Nothing says failed democracy like rigged elections.
I guess now all you have to do to discredit someone or get them to shut up is to add “denier” to something you don’t think should even be talked about. “Climate Change Denier”, ‘Election Denier”, “Science Denier”, “Holocaust Denier”, “White Privilege Denier”, you name it, just ad “denier” and instantly you’ve won the argument. Failing that, call your opponent a “insert word here Denier” and then top it off with “racist”, “homophobe”, “xenophobe”, “transphobe”, “anti-Semite”.
Gregory Wallace is a theft enabler, a liar, and a hack.
Strangely, The Hill has never referred to Hillary as an “election denier”, nor any other Dem. But then, I think I already knew that.
Whatta useless rag. Second-rate Red Journalism.
I just despise cock roaches at The Hill.
THEHILL should be ashamed of this article.
WHY did all mail ballots go to a printing company before being counted in Phoenix????
NO OBSERVERS
Chain of Custody is totally broken.
