    Default Americans reject election deniers

    In the majority of swing states the GOP put forth state-level candidates who didn’t only deny the results of the 2020 elections.

    They suggested that, if elected in their states, they would carry the gospel of voter fraud, stolen elections, and MAGA forward, using the power of their office to tilt the playing field in favor of the GOP or outright deny Democrats victories.

    Fringe as their viewpoints may have been, it was unclear going into Election Day how these candidates would do; many seemed to have the wind at their backs.

    But by Wednesday morning, it became clear: In races across the country — from Pennsylvania governor to Arizona secretary of state — those candidates appear to have lost.
    An overwhelming number of election deniers ran for political office this year. One recent tally from CBS News found that 308 of the 597 Republicans running for various elected offices this midterm cycle either explicitly said they believed the 2020 election was stolen, promoted conspiracy theories about widespread voter fraud, supported a post-2020 audit, or have otherwise been cagey about whether they believed Joe Biden was legitimately elected. A separate tally from FiveThirtyEight found that 60 percent of voters would have an election denier on their ballot.

    The CBS report also found that election deniers ran in major races across 48 states. Only Rhode Island and North Dakota don’t have a Big Lie supporter on the ballot. And many of them have vowed to change their states’ election processes.

    In crucial 2020 (and 2024) states like Pennsylvania, Arizona, and Wisconsin, election deniers attempted to secure key state positions.

    We call bullshit on your bullshit. Somehow elections were just fine with Americans until twump lost the popular vote in 16. You and your fellow MAGA's let one man's ambitions damage America's faith in our democracy.

    The truth won out last week. So, you know where you can stuff your "lack of faith".

    There will come a day where Donald Trump is gone, but the dishonor of those who carried his water will remain.

    So the fact that our elections have been checked forever and election fraud is extremely rare, means nothing to you? How would you make them better.? You should volunteer for the next one. You would learn something since you obviously know nothing.

    You need to scream? Why not have more people fired, their families threatened or harassed so they quiet down. You side with globalists and scumbags and must hate America more than you hate Trump. Why garbage like you exists is beyond me.
