QAnon-linked candidate wins Republican nod for Nevada’s top elections post

Jim Marchant has said that he ran for secretary of state at the urging of Juan O Savin, a prominent QAnon influencer

Jim Marchant, a QAnon-linked candidate who has unabashedly embraced the idea of overturning future election results, won the Republican nomination to be Nevada's top election official on Tuesday.

Marchant has said that he ran for secretary of state at the urging of Juan O Savin, a prominent QAnon influencer. After losing a congressional bid by more than 16,000 votes in 2020, Marchant claimed he was the victim of fraud, but failed to produce any evidence of it in a lawsuit seeking to overturning the result.
