At a rally for Nevada Republican candidates on Saturday, Republican nominee
for secretary of state Jim Marchant promised that he and his fellow GOP
nominees, if elected next month, would reinstall Donald Trump in the White
House in 2024.
“We’re gonna fix the whole country and President Trump is gonna be president
again,” Marchant promised as Trump stood beside him.
Marchant told rally-goers that he had started a coalition of nominees for
secretary of state around the country that believe the 2020 election was
stolen and plan to return Trump to the White House in two years. “I
established a MAGA America First coalition of secretaries of state candidates
around the country,” he told the crowd in Nevada. They will win, he
predicted. And if they all win “we take our country back.”
A former Nevada state assembly member, Marchant ran for Congress in 2020. He
lost. Then, he unsuccessfully sued

claiming that, like Trump, he was the victim of election fraud.
Still, Marchant has consistently polled ahead

of his Democratic opponent in his upcoming secretary of state race. If he
wins, Marchant would be the chief election official in a swing state that
could determine the outcome of the 2024 election.
Marchant and his coalition of allies hope to

roll back access to mail-in voting, get rid of vote tabulation machines, and
throw out the state’s voter registration roll thus forcing all Nevada voters
to re-register. That’s a dramatic and legally dubious version of something
that Republican secretaries of state have done in the past to make it harder
for Democrats to win: aggressively

purging

the voter rolls.
Democrats, worried about a Marchant victory, are rushing to boost the
Democratic nominee, according to an NBC News report,

but fear it won’t be enough to defeat Marchant.
