More than a third of Republicans on ballots in November support Donald Trump's false stolen-election claims: report (you know this really ticks them off!)

If you're voting in November's midterm elections, chances are you'll have a candidate on the ballot who denies the legitimacy of the 2020 presidential election.

An analysis by FiveThirtyEight found that 60% of Americans will have a candidate to choose from this fall who supports former President Donald Trump's lies that the election was stolen.

These candidates will appear on ballots in nearly every state, FiveThirtyEight found. The political website drew the candidates' positions from news reports, debate footage, campaign materials and social media and reached out to all Republican nominees for the House, Senate, governor, secretary of state and attorney general.

Of the 529 Republican nominees running for office, 196 — or 37% — fully denied the 2020 election results. Another 61 candidates raised doubts about potential fraud, which brings the percentage of election deniers and doubters to nearly 49%.

FiveThirtyEight is forecasting that many of these candidates — 118 election deniers and eight doubters — have at least a 95% chance of winning in the House.

Only 72 of the Republicans "fully accepted" the results and 87 fall into the "accepted with reservations" bucket, which means they accept President Joe Biden's victory but said they have concerns about election integrity.

I guess they are only false stolen-election claims if you are Hillary or Abrams or Gore or or or you name the Democrat.

So, we now know, for certain, 100% that the Hunter Biden Laptop was corroborated by witnesses who possessed phones and other devices that confirmed many of its contents.

We know that the FBI in concert with the Biden campaign buried this story and sold it as Russian disinformation.

We know Facebook was informed of. this and censored stories and posts about it.

From polling we know that a majority of voters would not have supported Biden has they known about the laptop.

And this election was legitimate how?

Meanwhile MSN doesn’t have a meaningful response to 2000 Mules other than to ignore it.

In 2000, the Dems said the election was stolen, in 2004, the dems said the election was stolen..in 2026 the Dems said the election was stolen..but in 2020, when it was BEYOND OBVIOUS that the election was stolen, you are NOT allowed to say the election was stolen, only Dems can say it was stolen

“Lies”

Not belief, or claim, or contention, or assertion.

There’s little journalism anymore.

I’d like to believe there’s going to be a great awakening regarding leftist lies, but there are too many easily brainwashed out there. Some Western people like to think we are civilized, and smart, and beyond mob rule and hysteria, but I don’t see Western people, in general, being too much different from the ones that burned people for being witches or the people in Nazi Germany.

What’s really frustrating the Deep State Media, (MSN, et.al.), is that nineteen months of intense gaslighting hasn’t worked.

Some FReepers naturally avoid trips to msnland and all that implies. For them, the original article can be found here:

The false claims are coming from Democrats and Never Trumpers.

2016 was likely almost stolen.

Deep State underestimated the size of Trump’s win.

They made that mistake again this last time, but were able to recover.

Deep State won’t make the same mistake a third time.

MSN is yet again falsely claiming that Trump made false claims.
