"Election Skeptics" refers to people who doubt that Joe Biden won the 2020 election.

"Election Skeptics" refer to people whose candidate didn't win, or as you said, who deny Joe Biden's win in 2020.

What do you mean by this? It's not as if every 2020 Trump voter believes that Trump won 2020. (Although, I did find out that about 60% of Republicans believe that Trump won 2020. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2022/feb/02/viral-imag... )

I'm going to assume you're young and incredibly naive, because otherwise, given the state of affairs of national politics in the United States for the past 8 years, you should know better. Look at the events that took place in 2020 surrounding the election that people were lied to and told it was "stolen." The Capitol Building was ransacked. Several county officers were jailed for refusing to do their job and certify results that they didn't like. Now they're opening the door to make overturning the election legal. You think they're not going to take it?

Incredibly naive.

They didn’t deny that. They only questioned the broad definition of "Election Skeptics" as “people whose candidate didn't win”
