QAnon figure says he's running for congress to fix elections

PHOENIX (AP) — Ron Watkins, one of the most prominent figures in the QAnon conspiracy movement, said Monday he is running for Congress in Arizona because the state is at the forefront of the fight by many Republicans over the 2020 election results.

Watkins, a prominent promoter of false claims that the presidency was stolen from Donald Trump, said he wants “to fix the elections from inside the machine."

“In the past year or so, I’ve been really involved in election integrity issues and especially out in Arizona, so I decided to come out here and just take it to the next step,” Watkins told The Associated Press in a brief phone interview.

Arizona has been the epicenter of the push by Trump many of his supporters to find evidence backing the former president's false claims that the 2020 election was marred by fraud. Trump supporters hired by state Senate Republicans to recount ballots and review election data confirmed Biden's victory but spun falsehoods about deleted data, double voting and other malfeasance in a report that ignored basic facts about how elections are run.

Good thing the secretary of state said they'd have to replace all of the machines that the traitors had possession of.
