MAGA Republicans are now accusing their own party of election fraud after losing primaries
https://www.salon.com/2022/09/22/maga-are-now-accusing-their-own-party-of-fraud-after-losing-primaries_partner/According to a report from the Daily Beast, more than a few Republican Party primary losers are refusing to take their losses gracefully and are taking a page out of Donald Trump's playbook and complaining about election theft.
With the GOP leadership trying to focus on the midterm elections which are now less than 60 days away, they are also having to deal with disgruntled far-right candidates who are casting doubt on the primary victors -- which could come back to haunt the party when the voters go to the polls in November.
As the Beast's Kelly Weill wrote, "From Colorado to Florida, a new cohort of Republican primary candidates have adopted a local version of Donald Trump's election denial, refusing to accept their losses, even if it means accusing their own party of election tampering ahead of the general election."

Accusing the winner of fraud is now the "by the book" reaction to losing any election for Republicans.
