Election denier Jim Marchant advances in Nevada Secretary of State race

Jim Marchant, a prominent election denier who has spent years spreading false conspiracies about voting and elections, won Nevada’s June 9 Republican primary for secretary of state Monday night.

The victory puts Marchant — who has said he would not have certified President Joe Biden’s 2020 win in Nevada — one step closer to overseeing elections in one of the country’s most important battlegrounds. And it underlines how, more than half a decade after 2020, election denialism remains a driving force in Republican politics.

Marchant was photographed standing with Nevada Republicans when they signed fake Electoral College certificates falsely claiming Trump won the state, even though Biden officially carried Nevada. Marchant also said during his 2022 secretary of state campaign that he would not have certified Biden’s 2020 victory in Nevada.

His current campaign platform calls for a sweeping overhaul of Nevada’s election system, including proof of U.S. citizenship to register and vote, ending universal mail-in ballots, eliminating electronic voting machines, hand counting ballots, forcing all voters to re-register and moving toward single-day voting.
