correction

A previous version of this piece provided an incorrect count of the number of Republican nominees who have denied or questioned the outcome of the last presidential election. The correct number is 291, not 299. The error was caused by an incorrect application of the criteria The Post is using to identify election deniers. As a result, the following names have been removed from this list: U.S. House candidates Scott Baugh of California, George Logan of Connecticut, Amanda Adkins of Kansas, John James of Michigan, and Matt Larkin and Dan Matthews of Washington; Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee, and U.S. Senate candidate Leora Levy of Connecticut. Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon was previously removed from this list because he did not meet the criteria. This piece has been revised.

Election deniers will be on the ballot in 48 of 50 states and make up more than half of all Republicans running for congressional and state offices in the midterm elections. Nearly 300 Republicans seeking those offices this November have denied or questioned the outcome of the last presidential election, according to a Washington Post analysis.

Many will win. More than 170 election deniers are running in districts or states where Republicans are expected to win, according to Cook Political Report race ratings and Partisan Voter Index. Another 46 are running in competitive races.
