More than 700 Republicans running in 2022 have pushed Trump’s election lies

Salon  

Hundreds of Republican federal and state candidates have embraced former President Trump's election lies as they run for office or seek re-election in 2022. Another 500 of the 600 state lawmakers who have echoed Trump's lies are up for re-election next year, including at least 16 who attended the "Stop the Steal" rally that preceded the Capitol riot. Arizona state Rep. Mark Finchem, who attended the "Stop the Steal" rally and is now running for secretary of state, recently told a QAnon-related talk show that he hopes the dubious "forensic audit" in Maricopa County will overturn Trump's loss in the state. Trump has already endorsed Rep. Jody Hice, R-Ga., in his bid to unseat Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, a Republican who repeatedly debunked Trump's false claims and rejected the then-president's request to "find" enough votes to overturn his loss in the state. The avalanche of election falsehoods in the 2022 campaign comes as Republican-led states across the country enact new voting restrictions inspired by Trump's lies, restrictions that many Democrats have compared to Jim Crow-era laws.
