The three governors are part of some 300 Republican candidates spread across the country who supported the theory, promoted by former President Donald Trump, that the 2020 elections were fraudulent. or that they questioned the results of those elections, according to data from the Brookings think tank.

Among the Republican senators who embrace these kinds of ideas and who emerged victorious from their races on Tuesday are JD Vance, who won a tight race at Ohio and Ted Budd, from North Carolina, who enter the Senate for the first time.

Vance, a mutual fund manager, rose to fame in 2016 with the publication of the book “Hillbilly: A Country Elegy,” in which portrays the desperation of a white family haunted by addictions, joblessness and economic decline, and which is considered the best portrait yet of the Trump voter in rural areas of the country.

The new senator for Ohio has always maintained that the 2020 election was stolen, that there were a large number of people who voted “illegally”, and at the time supported the position of Missouri Senator Josh Hawley to refuse to certify the electoral college votes on the sixth from January.

For its part, buddwho has just held a seat in the House of Representatives, accused the Democrats of putting the “integrity of the elections” at risk and introduced a bill in Congress to combat electoral fraud.

In addition to congressmen, there are candidates for positions that have weight in the state’s electoral processes such as Attorney General, Governor or Secretary of State.

Florida, Ohio, South Carolina and Alabama on Tuesday elected candidates who have supported false theories of election fraud.

In Florida, for example, Attorney General Ashley Mood, who has been re-elected for a second term, has led, along with Governor DeSantis, the campaign to arrest people accused of “illegal voting.”
