The election went smoothly with few challenges. Apparently Bannon was
wrong.

Election officials said nationally that fewer partisan challengers
showed up than they had thought likely, given pre-election rhetoric
from figures like former Trump adviser and popular podcaster Stephen
K. Bannon, who boasted of a massive new network of “election
integrity” activists. (“We’re going to be there and enforce those
rules, and we’ll challenge any vote, any ballot, and you’re going to
have to live with it, okay?” he said on a recent episode of his show.)
