WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Jim Marchant, who falsely claims the 2020 election was stolen from former President Donald Trump, won the Republican primary election for Nevada secretary of state, Edison Research projected.
Marchant, a former state legislator, will face a Democrat in the Nov. 8 general election for a post that oversees elections in the state. Trump did not endorse a candidate in the Republican primary.
