An investigation by Democracy Docket and Public Wise identified 230 election-denying public officials who are running for reelection in state and local races in seven swing states this year .

The data is culled from Public Wise’s Election Threat Index , which tracks the impact of election deniers serving in local offices that work on election administration.

Georgia Sen. Brandon Beach , 42 election-denying state lawmakers on the ballot in the Peach State this year , played a key role in the state’s fake electors scheme.

Pennsylvania was one of a handful of states at the center of the Big Lie — the conspiracies spread by Trump and his sycophants falsely alleging that mass election fraud led to his defeat.
