BBC Radio - Americast, The US election deniers running for office

How deeply could election denial affect the midterms in November?

The Americast team look at the threat that election deniers could pose to democracy if they are elected to office in the upcoming US midterms. 

The team chat to Alabama Secretary of State and Republican John Merrill and the BBC’s Disinformation and Social Media correspondent Marianna Spring examines whether election deniers are reaching voters through their social media accounts. 

Americast is presented by North America editor Sarah Smith, Today presenter Justin Webb and North America correspondent Anthony Zurcher.
