Election Deniers Mount New Efforts

“In the 2022 midterm elections, an unprecedented number of Republican candidates denied or cast doubt on the results of the latest presidential election, spread false conspiracy theories about the nation’s voting systems and, in many cases, questioned the legitimacy of American democracy itself,” the Washington Post reports.

“While a majority of them won, nearly all of the highest-profile candidates lost in what was seen as a national rebuke of the movement. But losing did not seem to deter many of them.”

“Six months later, many are considering a return to the campaign trail or continuing to build popularity and power in conservative circles.”
