“Nobody in any election in America gets 74% of the votes. Ever. It doesn’t happen.”
What PolitiFact found
In 2020 alone, a candidate was able to win a U.S. House general election by at least 74% of the vote dozens of times. At least 59 Trump-backed candidates have won races in 2022 with 74% to 100% of the vote.
