Election Denial In The Race For Pennsylvania Governor

Election Denial In The Race For Pennsylvania GovernorThis article by Ian Vandewalker is published by the Brennan Center for Justice. Here is an excerpt:

In Pennsylvani­a’s primary elec­tion Tues­day, voters will choose the nomin­ees for the seat being vacated by Gov. Tom Wolf (D). Elec­tion denial — the stance that Pres­id­ent Biden didn’t actu­ally win the 2020 elec­tion — has loomed large in the contest. The issue has the poten­tial to affect the 2024 elec­tions, since Pennsylvani­a’s governor appoints the secret­ary of the common­wealth, who is the state’s chief elec­tions offi­cial.

Amid national atten­tion to this battle­ground state, the lead­ing candid­ates in both parties have focused on elec­tion denial in their pitches to voters. Although there are several elec­tion deniers who have posted multi-million-dollar fundrais­ing, the candid­ate who has opposed the Big Lie, Attor­ney General Josh Shapiro (D), has raised more than all the elec­tion deniers combined. 

In the Repub­lican primary, polls show State Sen. Doug Mastri­ano with a comfort­able lead, followed by former Rep. Lou Barletta, former Delaware County Commis­sioner Dave White, and former U.S. Attor­ney Bill McSwain. All but McSwain have embraced the Big Lie.
