Some Republican candidates who lost their primary bids are leaning on a strategy that relies on insisting the 2020 election was rigged against former President Donald Trump.
Two GOP candidates in Colorado who lost their primary elections late last month have requested recounts, alleging widespread irregularities without presenting evidence. Among these is Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters, who lost her bid to become Colorado's secretary of state, which was not entirely unexpected after the elections official was indicted on seven felony charges of tampering with voting machine equipment.
Allegations of rigged primaries ahead of the midterm elections in Colorado and elsewhere reveal a new political strategy among some Republicans: denying Trump lost in 2020 and insisting the fraud that was present during that election is responsible for their defeat. Some candidates have begun using the tactic even before their primary is held. Kari Lake, who is vying to clinch the GOP nomination in Arizona’s gubernatorial election, warned supporters earlier this week that her top challenger “might be trying to set the stage for another steal” in next month’s primary. Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey criticized her comments, calling them “irresponsible.”
