Tempe political consultant Mike O’Neil said there remain Republicans, in Arizona and elsewhere, that continue pushing the idea that the election was stolen or fraudulent, despite all evidence to the contrary.

O’Neil said many Republican leaders want to appease the far right to avoid an insurrection among Trump’s die-hard supporters.
