Members of the United States Republican Party have reacted differently to Republican president Donald Trump's false claims about the 2020 United States presidential election,with many publicly supporting them,many remaining silent,and a few publicly denouncing them.

By December 11,2020,126 out of 196 Republican members of the House backed a lawsuit filed in the United States Supreme Court supported by nineteen Republican state attorneys general seeking to subvert the election and overturn the election results. The Trump campaign hired the Berkeley Research Group to investigate whether there had been voter fraud. The researchers found nothing,and the consultancy reported this to Trump and his chief of staff Mark Meadows on a conference call in the final days of the year,before the attack on the Capitol.

Following the 2020 United States presidential election and the unsuccessful attempts by Donald Trump and various other Republican officials to overturn it,Republican lawmakers initiated a sweeping effort to make voting laws more restrictive within several states across the country. According to the Brennan Center for Justice,as of October 4,2021,more than 425 bills that would restrict voting access have been introduced in 49 states—with 33 of these bills enacted across 19 states so far. The bills are largely centered around limiting mail-in voting,strengthening voter ID laws,shortening early voting,eliminating automatic and same-day voter registration,curbing the use of ballot drop boxes,and allowing for increased purging of voter rolls. Republicans in at least eight states have also introduced bills that would give lawmakers greater power over election administration after they were unsuccessful in their attempts to overturn election results in swing states won by Democratic candidate Joe Biden in the 2020 election. The efforts garnered press attention and public outrage from Democrats,and by 2023 Republicans had adopted a more "under the radar" approach to achieve their goals.
