Conspiracies dominate GOP primary for Nevada elections post
RENO, Nevada (AP) Jim Marchant has been traveling the country repeating the false claims that the 2020 election was stolen from former President Donald Trump and trying to make the case that electronic voting equipment should be tossed out in favor of ballots cast and counted by hand.
Now the businessman and former state lawmaker is on the primary ballot Tuesday in Nevada, a perennial presidential battleground state. His goal: become the state's top election official.
Marchant is one of several Republicans across the country running to oversee the next presidential election while denying the outcome of the last one.
There is no evidence of any widespread voter fraud or manipulation of voting machines in 2020. But the false claims have sowed doubt among Republican voters, triggered death threats to election officials and led to a host of new voting restrictions in GOP-controlled states, mostly related to mailed ballots.

Tinfoil hats are de rigueur for most Republicans these days.
