BOISE, Idaho — In a testy debate centered on election security, two of the three Republican candidates for Idaho secretary of state avowed their false belief that Joe Biden lost the 2020 presidential election.
Despite numerous efforts by former President Donald Trump and his allies to uncover fraud, there is no evidence the 2020 election was wrongly decided. But candidates for the office that oversees Idaho's elections staked those claims anyway.
Sen. Mary Souza, R-Coeur d'Alene, and Rep. Dorothy Moon, R-Stanley, said that Biden lost the election. Only Ada County Clerk Phil McGrane said Biden was duly elected.
