Running for office as an election denier nullifies the election denier argument.
https://signalpress.blogspot.com/2022/10/running-for-office-as-election-denier.htmlYou just can't fix stupid.
Believing that the 2020 Presidential election was "stolen," especially without any evidence at all to support that claim, is about as ignorant and ridiculous a position as a politician can take. In my own opinion, believing that should disqualify anyone from running for public office. There are always glitches and places in the system where ballots can't be verified, or may have been cast in a manner not consistent with law or defined procedure, but the number is so low, compared to the number of ballots that are cast and counted accurately, that it is safe to say American elections are the most secure and accurate in the world. And 2020 falls into that same category, in spite of the ignorant rhetoric that keeps going on and on from the right.
But, making that kind of fraudulent claim goes beyond identifying those who believe it as idiots and morons. Trump wasn't the only name on those ballots. Every state had a list of senate candidates, congressional candidates, state legislative elections, judges, constitutional propositions, and all kinds of things to elect or which required casting a vote. If the Presidential election was "rigged," then so was every other election on the ballot. That means that many of those who are currently serving in Congress on the GOP side of the aisle believe their own election isn't legitimate. Right? I mean, if someone was elected and the election was rigged, then so would be their election.
