"This has been something that’s been talked about quite a bit in Democratic circles as to whether or not this is good idea. We’ve seen efforts by Democratic campaigns and outside groups to tilt the playing field in their favor by propping up extremist Republican candidates in some of these very critical races around the country, the idea that it would make it easier for Democrats to win," Acosta said.
"But on the flip side," he warned. "If the vote doesn’t go their way, you could end up with conspiracy theorists, election deniers and so on in some pretty important places."
