Echoing Trump, These Republicans Won't Promise to Accept 2022 Results

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

WASHINGTON — Nearly two years after President Donald Trump refused to accept his defeat in the 2020 election, some of his most loyal Republican acolytes might follow in his footsteps.

When asked, six Trump-backed Republican nominees for governor and the Senate in midterm battlegrounds would not commit to accepting this year’s election results, and another five Republicans ignored or declined to answer a question about embracing the November outcome. All of them, along with many other GOP candidates, have preemptively cast doubt on how their states count votes.

But several Republicans endorsed by Trump are hesitant to say that they will not fight the results.

Among the party’s Senate candidates, Rep. Ted Budd in North Carolina, Blake Masters in Arizona, Kelly Tshibaka in Alaska and J.D. Vance in Ohio all declined to commit to accepting the 2022 results. So did Tudor Dixon, the Republican nominee for governor of Michigan, and Geoff Diehl, who won the GOP primary for governor of Massachusetts this month.

Such a sense of entitlement.

1. its a mistake for dems to say they will automatically accept results nt

2. I agree

With several Republicans being caught committing election fraud, it is defensible to say that you will accept the results of the election absent any proof of fraud.

3. Sigh, it's the new normal.

Republicans will fight legitimate election results from now on. All the while trying to cheat the results in their favor.
Trump showed them it’s possible so now it’s something we will have to contend with indefinitely.

5. They want chaos.

6. They'll accept any election they win...

Election tampering can only happen if they lose.
