Local Leaders Stand Up Against Election Denialism: A Critical Battle for Democracy

Donald Trump’s continued promotion of the false notion that the 2020 election was fraudulent has had a toxic impact on the nation’s political landscape. His refusal to accept the results of the election and his spreading of misinformation has led to a wave of election denialism among elected officials across the country.

This dangerous trend has prompted concerned citizens like Joy Banks to step up and run for office in order to combat election denialism at the local level. Organizations like Contest Every Race are working tirelessly to recruit candidates who will challenge election deniers and uphold the integrity of our democratic process.

Trump’s narcissistic lying poses a serious threat to democracy by eroding trust in our elections and undermining the foundation of our country. If left unchecked, this behavior could lead to a complete breakdown of our democratic institutions. (Source: [Los Angeles Times](https://www.latimes.com/))
