In Maryland, a congressional candidate beaten by more than 40 percentage points is still complaining about "irregularities" in her election. And in Tennessee, a House candidate defeated by more than 57 percentage points has reached out to the ubiquitous pro-Trump lawyer Sidney Powell to air her grievances about an election that no Republican had any chance of winning — but that she's convinced she did.
