Election denial continues to be steadfast since the presidential election, with about 30 percent of the electorate continuing to believe the election was illegitimate, Rosenfeld noted.

The roles of governor, attorney general and secretary of state play critical roles in overseeing elections, so the prevalence of election deniers in these roles poses a problem for democracy, Rosenfeld said. Governors certify winners, Attorney generals can sue and secretaries of state oversee the mechanics of elections.
