Voters in the key election battleground of Michigan on Tuesday rejected a Republican candidate vying to run the 2024 presidential election in their state who backed former President Donald Trump's false claims that he won in 2020.
Kristina Karamo was beaten by Democratic candidate Jocelyn Benson in the race to be Michigan's secretary of state, Edison Research projected., but both races are yet to be called.
Karamo soared to prominence when she claimed in 2020 that she had witnessed fraud at Detroit's absentee counting board as a poll observer. No evidence has ever emerged supporting those claims. The group said election deniers were running for secretary of state in 13 states and that so far three had won, two had lost, while the remaining eight races were still undecided.
Trump's false claims of fraud in 2020 were rejected by numerous court rulings, his own Justice Department and even Republican-led investigations at the state level.
