Election Denier Becomes GOP Nominee For Nevada’s Top Election Official

Nevada Republicans’ nominee to be the state’s next top election officials thinks Donald Trump won the 2020 election and says he would not have certified Joe Biden’s victory in the state in 2020, even though the Democrat won with more than a 2% margin.

I keep hearing that Nevada is a great risk to Democrats this autumn. Does anyone have a read on how likely this loon is to achieve his fascist dreams?

Asked who he thought was manipulating voting machines, Marchant told the paper, “I don’t know actually. I think it’s a global thing.” Many of the judges who rejected election fraud claims, he added, were “bought off too — they are part of this cabal.”

How crazy do you have to be to vote for someone this crazy?

To the loyal fascists who voted for this asshole - is there any stronger way for you to say you don’t give a damn about democracy? Other than violently attacking the seat of democracy and those whose job it is to protect that seat, of course.

Are you Nevada fascists putting us on notice that you will no longer accept any election result that does not favor one of your own? Are you saying that you will engage in the legitimate political discourse of violence and murder should you lose a legitimate election?

To be clear, there are those in my home state of New Mexico who do reject actual democracy as well.

"I like the way ‘preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States’ has become a radical, far-left idea."

“But, inflation, or so I’m told. So I just say kick the bums out, all of 'em.”

  • Something along those lines typically works. No craziness needed, just a lack of critical thought, a resource we possess in growing abundance. Some would even describe the US as exceptional in that regard.

Maybe he should STFU. If he looks at how Nevada votes in statewide elections he’d note his mouth puts him at a disadvantage. Hopefully he’ll get elected as well as the rest of the MAGA trash running. It’s the only way to eradicate them.

I’d like someone…anyone to tell me just what the fuck “defend the Constitution” means.

The U.S.A. market for morons, opportunists, grifters and subnormals is glutted. We’re going to have to dump off the excess supply in a field somewhere just to keep prices from plunging below cost.

Should be easy to beat if Democrats support with $$ and GOTV. Guy is a lunatic.

If the elections are fraudulent, how do we know he did not win the election fraudulently?

When your whole news gathering world is crazy…well then add some faith in there…and you’ve got believers in things that aren’t true. This is not in the metaphysical sense, just how everyday things always seem to be out to get these folks.

The GOP is anti-government and yet they run for office. So this makes a kind of stupid GOP sense. A GOP candidate who doesn’t believe in elections is running in an election.

I don’t know how everyone feels about the media coverage of all these primaries, but I get disgusted hearing them put all their emphasis on Trump and “his candidates.” I understand some people think it’s important we be aware who these people are, but how it’s presented - even within the liberal media - is enthusiastically focused on Trump candidates and his influence on the elections. They tend to quickly skirt over those winning candidates that were not backed by Trump, then go on and on about Trump’s candidates and his influence in our election process. When will it stop!?! I just pray that the J6 committee hearings will be successful in helping erase this outsized influence TFG has on the media.

Marchant was on hand for the signing of a slate of fake Trump electors in 2020

This point here makes me wonder if Marchant might soon “be going through some things”.

Sadly, as crazy as 30-40% of the population is apparently. Historically, these far-right lunatics would be great news for Dems going into an election. But all bets are off now… Our two-party system is so bad under these circumstances. As someone from Europe commented (on a Times story), so much of our system is under the “honor system.” Thus, when one party has no honor, we have what we have now.

“Your vote hasn’t counted for decades”
Just a thought: if you’re ignorant, stupid and a budding fascist, maybe your vote SHOULDN’T count.

They believe in “fair” elections. Any election where a Republican wins is of course fair.
