What If an ‘Election Denier’ Is Elected?

“Many of the election deniers running for secretary of state this year have spent their time talking about something they can’t do: ‘decertifying’ the 2020 results,” Politico reports.

“The bigger question — amid concerns about whether they would fairly administer the 2024 presidential election — is exactly what powers they would have if they win in November.”

“Atop the list of the most disruptive things they could do is refusing to certify accurate election results — a nearly unprecedented step that would set off litigation in state and federal court. That has already played out on a smaller scale this year, when a small county in New Mexico refused to certify election results over unfounded fears about election machines, until a state court ordered them to certify.”
