Of 450 Republican nominees in the US mid term elections in November — including incumbents running for re-election and nonincumbents — in Nevada, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Michigan and Minnesota, 58% of them have echoed former President Donald Trump's lies that the 2020 election was stolen from him, according to research shared exclusively with NBC News by The States Project, a left-leaning group that tracked state legislative races in battleground states.

Almost two years after Trump launched his unprecedented election subversion push, culminating in the January 6 insurrection at the US Capitol, the doubts he sowed around election integrity are now blossoming. A new poll from NBC News found that 65% of Republican voters still view Biden’s presidency as illegitimate.

This means 60% of Americans will have at least one Election denier on the ballot when they vote in the mid-terms

It warrants the question whether these election deniers will deny their own election results?

Its true.

The GOP will dominate congress, and local elections, and the GOP is dominated by the lunatic fringe of election deniers.

So the inmates will end up running the asylum after this election.

I have the Swedish consulate on speed dial if the GOP takes Congress.

Just remember there's been a LOT of Americans dumb enough to support all these lies that only a truly brainwashed idiot could believe

I think that says a lot more about the average American than it does about Trump and the GOP. Just saying.

Trump isn't the worst president that America's ever had.

This thread smacks of 'sore loser' syndrome.

Also, it's no conspiracy that Fetterman needs Occupational Therapy, not a Senate seat. He and Biden can share a room on the memory ward.

That's exactly what people said when George W. Bush got elected.

If Marjorie Traitor Greene and Boebert are any indication, then we can expect the loony MAGA crowd to be loud and offensive, but pretty well ineffective. Hopefully, they'll wear out their welcome soon enough when their incompetence for actual governing becomes apparent.

At least Fetterman's not a fraud, a quack, and a snake oil salesman like Oz.
