DEMOCRACY ON THE BALLOT — WILL THE REMAINING ELECTION DENIERS SUCCEED?

Abstract

In the 2022 midterms a large number of election deniers ran and most of them lost. But that doesn’t mean that the threats they pose to democracy are over. The most high-profile election denier at this point (besides, of course, former President Trump) is failed gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake of Arizona. Though it looks like her crusade is going nowhere at the state legislative level, there are still legislators ready to take up the fight. They are promoting a wide range of policies designed to correct what they saw as problems in the 2020 and 2022 elections.
