The share of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents who believe that President Joe Biden’s 2020 election win was not legitimate has ticked back up, according to a new CNN poll fielded throughout July. All told, 69% of Republicans and Republican-leaners say Biden’s win was not legitimate, up from 63% earlier this year and through last fall, even as there is no evidence of election fraud that would have altered the outcome of the contest.
Indeed. All the claims about Russian interference were that they used propaganda to push people to vote for Trump, not that the election itself was fraudulent. It’s ridiculous to compare “Hostile foreign actors are manipulating people” with “The outgoing president actually won the election and thus should remain in office despite all the evidence to the contrary.”
