On Principles & Values: 2020 election was fraudulent and corrupt; but let's move on

Chris Chaffee, the little-known Republican Senate nominee in Maryland, has falsely called the 2020 election "fraudulent" and "corrupt" and baselessly referred to "this coup against the President and the election." He has also promoted specific baseless conspiracy theories about the election, like one about voting machines.

Asked for his stance on the legitimacy of Biden's win, and whether he stands by his expressed opinions that the election was fraudulent and corrupt, Chaffee said in an email to CNN last week: "My stance is this is September 6, 2022 and we need to move forward. The general election for 2022 is November 8, 2022. Please concentrate on that. We must ensure that in the 2022 United States elections have integrity."

Chris Chaffee has falsely called the 2020 election "fraudulent" and "corrupt" and baselessly referred to "this coup against the President and the election." He has also promoted specific baseless conspiracy theories about the election, like one about voting machines.

Chaffee, who was routed in a 2014 House race against Democratic incumbent Rep. Steny Hoyer, is now a major underdog to incumbent Democratic Sen. Chris Van Hollen.

Asked for his stance on the legitimacy of Biden's win, and whether he stands by his expressed opinions that the election was fraudulent and corrupt, Chaffee said in an email to CNN last week: "My stance is this is September 6, 2022 and we need to move forward.
