After ‘no comment’ sparked controversy, Diehl will accept results of the November election, campaign says

Will Geoff Diehl, the Donald Trump-endorsed Republican nominee for governor who has echoed the former president’s bogus claims that the 2020 election was rigged, accept the results of the November election in Massachusetts?

Yes, Diehl said a day after The New York Times published a story in which his campaign gave a “no comment” when asked whether Diehl would agree to the outcome of his race against Democratic nominee Maura Healey.

Diehl said in a statement Monday that if he sees problems with the voting process, he will call out the problems and “seek resolution” through legal means.

But “once those means are exhausted, or if there are no such irregularities in the first place, the election is over and its results must be respected according to our democratic tradition,” he said.
