Let’s take a peek at how some of the other Big Lie candidates are doing tonight. There are a handful of candidates who have won their primaries already, but they’re mostly incumbent Republicans, many of whom voted not to certify the 2020 election results (and so we include them in our Big Lie category) but haven’t had much to say about it since.

And a couple candidates who aren’t incumbents are currently leading, like Mike Collins, who is running to become the GOP nominee in Georgia’s 10th Congressional District.

*Incumbent.

Candidates marked as having “denied legitimacy” of the 2020 election either explicitly said Donald Trump’s loss or the 2020 election itself was illegitimate or, if an elected official, took legal measures to try and overturn the election. Candidates marked as “raised doubts” have questioned the fairness of the 2020 election or made references to “election integrity” but have not explicitly said the election or Trump’s loss was illegitimate.
