Race for Nevada’s secretary of state seat could determine next presidential election

Democrat Cisco Aguilar is challenging Republican Jim Marchant, who pledged to fix' country and secure Trump victory in 2024

The man who could save free and fair elections in Nevada was rushing to finish his breakfast. No one seemed to notice him.

It was this anonymity that belied the weight on the shoulders of Cisco Aguilar, a 45-year-old cherub-faced lawyer who is running to be Nevada's top election official. Aguilar, a Democrat, is in the final stretch of the secretary of state race against Jim Marchant, a former Nevada lawmaker who has been one of the most prominent leaders of a movement to question the legitimacy of the 2020 presidential election.
