Several Republican lawmakers and conservative media have advanced Trump’s unsupported election claims, while Cantor pointed out in his opinion piece that a Washington Post-ABC News poll released this month found that two-thirds of Republican or GOP-backed voters believe that there is valid evidence showing widespread electoral fraud.
Several courts have issued claims from Trump’s legal team and pro-Trump lawyers about irregularities in the 2020 election, with judges pointing to a lack of evidence.
Trump’s election claims were the basis for a “Stop the Steal” march on January 6, followed by a violent mob that stormed the Capitol building as Congress convened to confirm President Biden’s election victory.
Five people died in the chaos, including Capitol police officer Brian Sicknick and a woman shot by an ordinary officer. Two additional officers who responded to the January 6 riots have since died of suicide.
