Four years after losing the 2020 election to incumbent Joe Biden, Donald Trump continues to claim that the election was stolen from him — a false claim that has been repeatedly debunked.
In 2024, Mark Elias and other Democratic lawyers fear that if Trump loses to Vice President Kamala Harris, he will try to overturn the election results.
According to Politico reporters Liz Crampton and Kyle Cheney, “many of the people who were preparing to vote for Donald Trump in the 2024 Electoral College were involved in his plot to undermine the 2020 election.”

“Of the 93 Republicans designated as Trump’s presidential nominees from the seven battleground states,” Crampton and Cheney explained in an article published Nov. 4, “eight face felony charges for signing false certificates of election college in 2020, according to Politico Five others signed similar affidavits in 2020 but were not charged, and at least six others played prominent roles in contesting the results of the 2020 election or promoting theories for conspiracy.”
The reporters added, “Overall, at least 1 in 5 Trump nominees from battleground states this year had some connection to the 2020 repeal scheme.”
The fact that some of these “potential Trump presidential voters,” Crampton and Cheney note, hasn’t hurt their standing in the Republican Party.
“Instead of being punished or removed for their role in attempting to overturn a democratic election,” the journalists noted, “they were elevated. The Republican Party has rewarded those accused of serious crimes by returning to the coveted position they held accused of abuse four years ago.”
