Promoter of election conspiracy theories wins GOP primary for Nevada secretary of state
Former state lawmaker Jim Marchant has won the Republican nomination for Nevada secretary of state. His primary victory on Monday brings one of the state’s most outspoken promoters of election conspiracy theories within reach of the office that oversees voting in a perennial presidential battleground. It also sets up a rematch in November with Democratic Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar. The two faced each other four years ago, with Aguilar prevailing. The winner in November will oversee the 2028 presidential election in Nevada, a state that went for President Donald Trump in 2024 after voting for Democrat Joe Biden four years earlier.
