Election Deniers Aren’t Contesting Their Massive Losses

For months, election deniers claimed without evidence that the vote would be rigged. Now they appear to be accepting crushing defeats.
For months, election deniers had alleged without evidence that the vote would be rigged to flip results in favor of Democrats, that mail-in ballots would be compromised, and that a wave of noncitizens would vote in such numbers to alter the outcome of the election.
None of this happened, and in reality the country appeared to roundly reject the policies implemented by President Donald Trump and his administration.
For months, hundreds of election deniers in state and federal races had campaigned on promises to investigate past elections or overhaul voting procedures. But a WIRED review of some of the most pivotal races involving election deniers found that almost all of them lost, and none of them, or the network of activists and groups backing them, have raised any questions about the results.
