Oklahoma is holding a primary election for a new U.S. senator and governor, with the race seen as a test of Donald Trump’s influence over the Republican party.

Election denialists in key agencies are pursuing discredited fraud claims, potentially intimidating election workers and voters in swing states Trump lost to Biden.
