Hundreds of candidates who openly questioned or denied the legitimacy of the 2020 presidential election outcome ran for office in elections across the country Tuesday.
They included candidates who ran in states – Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, New Mexico, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin – allegedly targeted by a scheme to send fake electors to Congress for the purpose of falsely handing former President Donald Trump the 2020 presidential election.
Many of the candidates who openly questioned the 2020 election outcome repeated false claims that the election was fraudulent or stolen.
After Tuesday, some will remain in office, others won't, while more await the outcome of their races.
