Meet The Iowa Election Deniers Running For Statehouse Offices

[progressoid]

People who deny that Joe Biden is the President of the United States aren’t just a fringe group in Arizona or Florida anymore. They’re right here in Iowa—and they want to be in the Iowa Legislature.

You might remember the traveling Ohio math professor peddling the Big Lie in Independence, trying to drum up more support for their mistaken belief that a majority of Americans voted for Donald Trump for president in 2020.

At least four Republican state legislative candidates were on hand during that presentation—Brad Sherman, Bernie Hayes, Anne Fairchild and current Rep. Sandy Salmon. Both Sherman and Fairchild appeared to be helping organize the event.

And there will be even more actual candidates on your ballot for the Iowa Legislature who agree with the Big Lie and want to impose even more voting restrictions—if not eventually take away the right entirely for many.

Here’s who they are, and what they’ve said to earn a spot on this list:

This is infuriating. I don't know who all these people are but I hope they all lose. I'm quite confident Josh Turek will defeat Abdouch in the 20th. He's running a great campaign. https://www.turek4iowa.com/

2. Stoltenberg says, "there were no riots".

I know what I saw. I know what millions of us all across America saw. On many networks. No misreporting there. No fake media. It happened. I'm very glad you posted this. I'm in Davenport and while Stoltenberg is in a different district than this one, I know people out that way and will try like hell to see that she goes down.
