Election Deniers Vie for Power as Senate Race Tightens in Minnesota

As the US midterm elections approach, a concerning trend has emerged with numerous candidates who deny the legitimacy of the 2020 election running for attorney general positions across several states. This development raises alarms about the future administration of electoral processes and the potential for continued challenges to democratic outcomes.

Meanwhile, in Minnesota, a reliably Democratic state, the race for an open Senate seat has become unexpectedly competitive. Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan, who could make history as the first Native American woman in the Senate, is facing a tighter-than-anticipated contest. Frustration over a significant fraud scandal has impacted her polling numbers, creating an opening for Republican candidate Michele Tafoya, an ex-NFL reporter, who could potentially secure a statewide victory for her party for the first time in two decades.
