Prominent evangelical leaders publicly cast doubt on the 2020 election result

Evidence

Prominent religious leaders joined in on casting doubt. Franklin Graham, son of famed evangelist Billy Graham and leader of two large evangelical ministries, said, “The votes are in, but is the election over? I have no clue. I guess we just have to wait and see.” Paula White-Cain, a prominent televangelist and one of Trump’s spiritual advisers, claimed that “demonic confederacies … are attempting to steal the election from Trump.” Eric Metaxas said, “This is God’s battle even more than our battle.” — Andrew L. Whitehead, American Idolatry, 125
