(NewsNation) — Democrats and Republicans are campaigning on a similar message this November: Democracy is on the ballot.
Polls show that elections are a top concern among voters. Democrats have long pushed for expanding voting access through measures like vote-by-mail and automatic registration.
While Republicans often oppose those efforts, former President Donald Trump’s continuing false claims of a stolen election made election integrity a top campaign issue.
At a rally this past weekend, Trump questioned such election integrity.
“We are just two months away from the midterms and we need a win so big that the radical left cannot rig it or steal it,” he said.
In Arizona, election integrity is at the forefront of the midterms.
Republican nominee for governor Kari Lake, who is endorsed by Trump, has based much of her campaign on questioning the 2020 election results.
“The reason we have inflation — sky-high inflation — and can’t afford gasoline or groceries is because we had a rigged stolen election,” Lake said.
Her opponent, Katie Hobbs, has called Lake’s comments “dangerous” and said that if Lake were in office in 2020, she wouldn’t have certified President Joe Biden’s victory in Arizona.
“This is part of an ongoing attack on our democracy that we have seen play out since the 2020 election,” Hobbs said.
Almost all of the 2022 midterm candidates whom Trump has endorsed say election fraud is “rampant.”
