Republican voters in several key swing states could select election deniers as their nominees for governorships and other top offices in primaries.
The issue is at the heart of high-profile races in Arizona and Michigan -- two of the most important presidential battlegrounds -- weeks after Republican voters elsewhere selected promoters of former President Donald Trump's lies about widespread fraud in the 2020 election as nominees for several posts that could position them to manage key states' election machinery in 2024.Arizona, in particular, has been the epicenter of Trump's election denialism.
He wrongly claimed in a debate with Meijer that the results that led to Biden's win in 2020 were"simply mathematically impossible" and said that there were"anomalies in there, to put it very lightly." Democrats have attempted to boost Gibbs -- whom they believe would be easier to beat in November's general election -- with ads casting him as a Trump-aligned conservative.
