When Trump supporters stormed the Capitol a year ago, they were motivated in part by what some analysts and authorities call "the big lie." It's a conspiracy theory embraced by former President Donald Trump that claims the 2020 presidential election was stolen by Democrats.According to one poll from Monmouth University, nearly three-quarters of Republicans believe Biden's 2020 election win was illegitimate. Republicans' belief in the stolen election has become a litmus test for the party. As part of our week-long series on Jan. 6, we're diving into how the GOP got here and what this means for the 2022 midterm election.Want to support 1A?
