New audio reported by The American Independent shows that New Hampshire GOP Senate nominee Don Bolduc is back to peddling election lies just days after trying to back off his conspiracy theories. Bolduc spent the past year and a half pushing the Big Lie and even questioning Biden’s legitimacy as President. Just two days after winning the New Hampshire GOP Primary’s race to the right, he tried to backpedal on his own words saying “I’ve done a lot of research on this and I’ve spent the past couple of weeks talking to Granite Staters all over the state, from, you know, every party. And I’ve come to the conclusion, and I want to be definitive on this: The election was not stolen”
But now Bolduc is back to lying about the election. According to the report, “in an appearance on WSMN radio on Monday, Bolduc was asked about his recent flip-flop on Biden’s comfortable popular and Electoral College victories. This time he did not say that Biden won”:
“Here’s the deal. Yes, I believe there was a significant amount of fraud, and I have said that over and over again,” Bolduc said, without pointing to evidence beyond saying that “people don’t trust” New Hampshire’s voting machines, vote by mail, the state’s voter ID laws, college student voting, and same-day registration. “I have campaigned across this state. There is a wide variety of views on the 2020 election, but there is a consistent belief across the board that there is fraud.”
The American Independent: GOP New Hampshire Senate nominee Bolduc is back to lying about fraud in the 2020 election
By Josh Israel | September 22, 2022
Key Points:
-
Bolduc, a far-right candidate and retired Army brigadier general, spent much of the time between Biden’s 2021 inauguration and last Tuesday’s GOP primary promoting the lie that former President Donald Trump won the election in 2020.
-
Bolduc signed an open letter in May 2021 asserting widespread fraud in 2020 elections and questioning Biden’s victory. “Without fair and honest elections that accurately reflect the ‘will of the people’ our Constitutional Republic is lost,” the letter reads. “The FBI and Supreme Court must act swiftly when election irregularities are surfaced and not ignore them as was done in 2020.”
-
During his primary campaign, Bolduc repeatedly pointed to that letter, saying as recently as Aug. 14, “I signed a letter with 120 other generals and admirals saying that Trump won the election and damn it, I stand by my letter.”
-
But two days after becoming the nominee, Bolduc told Fox News that Biden “is the legitimate president of this country.”
-
While continuing to baselessly assert that there was fraud in the election, Bolduc claimed to have changed his mind on how much, saying: “So, you know, we, you know, live and learn, right? And I’ve done a lot of research on this and I’ve spent the past couple of weeks talking to Granite Staters all over the state, from, you know, every party. And I’ve come to the conclusion, and I want to be definitive on this: The election was not stolen.”

There is no evidence of widespread voter fraud in New Hampshire or nationally during the 2020 general election.
