Republican Candidates in Virginia Push False Claims About 2020 Election

  • Most Republican candidates in Virginia are focusing on education, cost of living, and gun rights in their campaigns.
  • However, some candidates are still using Trump's false claims of a rigged 2020 election as a selling point.
  • At least six Republican candidates for the General Assembly attended Trump's "Stop the Steal" rally or the subsequent march to the Capitol.
  • If Republicans win majorities in both chambers, they plan to roll back voting changes enacted by Democrats, including expanding access to early voting and absentee ballots and eliminating the previous voter ID requirement.
  • The 2020 election was not stolen from Trump, and candidates who rejected the results fared poorly in last year's midterms.
