Participants at Trump’s Jan. 6 rally push false election claims in Virginia legislative campaigns

Associated Press  

RICHMOND, Va. — Most Republican candidates running for the Virginia legislature this year are centering their pitches to voters on issues such as education, the cost of living and gun rights. Nearly three years after Democrat Joe Biden won the White House, the Virginia candidates’ messaging shows the durability among Republicans of Trump’s claims, something that’s been reflected in previous election cycles and echoed in polling. Williams, who worked on Trump’s Wisconsin legal team, said in an interview that the 2020 election was “absolutely rigged” but that liberals are the ones keeping the issue front and center. The six candidates who were in Washington on Jan. 6 are among a longer list of Republicans running for office in Virginia who have pushed false claims about the 2020 election, the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee said in a new research report. The group’s research counts 16 total candidates in Virginia’s 2023 state legislative races who have engaged in what the DLCC calls “election denial or other anti-democratic activity.” Among them are candidates who attended local “Stop the Steal” rallies after the 2020 election, shared false claims of voter fraud or promoted the debunked film “2,000 Mules.” Heather Williams, interim president of the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee, said those types of candidates “are an ongoing threat to our democracy.” “State legislatures are the most impactful level of the ballot when it comes to our elections and voting rights, and with these extreme candidates and lawmakers running, the stakes couldn’t be higher this cycle,” she said.
