I moved the section "Stolen elections in American history" in List of conspiracy theories to this new article on Contested elections in American history. The old section/new article is not primarily about conspiracy theories but about the actual course of events as described by historians. "Stolen" also jumps to a conclusion and "Contested" does not. Also that article was much too long for a "List". This article is a unified treatment of a common topic in US history. Rjensen ( talk) 20:22, 22 November 2022 (UTC)
Shouldn't the article include the above section? Whether she was correct or not, Hillary repeated that claim many times during the four years of Trump's presidency, and other Democrats repeated the claim, so it does seem significant.
For example, it is mentioned in this Washington Post article: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/hillary-clinton-trump-is-an-illegitimate-president/2019/09/26/29195d5a-e099-11e9-b199-f638bf2c340f_story.html
I chose not to add it myself, because I am not a frequent Wikipedia contributor, and I understand why there might be reasons we would not want to mention it (e.g. it might make Trump's claims about the 2020 election seem less "beyond the pale").
I leave the decision up to you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.181.47.235 ( talk) 16:56, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
