CNN reports, "Nevada’s GOP nominee for top election post wants to eliminate mail voting but voted by mail multiple times."
But wait. This isn't just another "Republican hypocrite runs for office" story. There's more, and this race has national consequences -- including in 2024.
CNN: "The Trump-endorsed nominee [Jim Marchant] heads the America First Secretary of State Coalition, a group of election deniers seeking state election posts who regurgitate election conspiracies. Their platform calls to eliminate mail voting, implement an 'aggressive voter roll clean-up' and move to single-day voting."
John, cycle after cycle, Nevada is one of the most important battleground states in the country. An election denier and voter suppression proponent should NOT be in charge of the 2024 election there.
Marchant's group doesn't just want to implement its extreme voter suppression policies in states they take over this year. The website says they're pushing these policies "also for the current Secretaries of State throughout the country."
Here's more from CNN about Marchant:
"Marchant, a former state assemblyman and businessman, is one of at least 11 GOP secretary of state nominees who have cast doubt on the legitimacy of the 2020 election.
"He has stated that he would not have certified the 2020 election, even though that is a power granted to the Nevada Supreme Court, not the secretary of state. However, the post has other influence over the election process, including setting and enforcing rules with local election officials.
"Marchant will face Democrat Cisco Aguilar in November."
Thanks for being a bold progressive.
