GOP hopefuls for election posts see enemies within own party

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Four Republicans who have promoted false claims about the 2020 presidential election and are running for top state election offices said Saturday they were fighting against a corrupt system — even pointing a finger at mysterious forces within their own party.

The candidates -- Arizona’s Mark Finchem, Michigan’s Kristina Karamo, Nevada’s Jim Marchant and New Mexico’s Audrey Trujillo -- said they want to overhaul how elections are run in their states. They appeared at a conference inside a South Florida hotel ballroom that featured numerous speakers falsely claiming that the 2020 election was stolen from former President Donald Trump.

“Our biggest enemy is our own party,” said Marchant, a businessman and former state lawmaker who was among Trump’s most ardent supporters challenging President Joe Biden's 2020 win in Nevada. “Even though we are Republicans, we are kind of the outsiders. We have a battle, but we’re not giving up.”

All are members of the America First Secretary of State Coalition, which calls for large-scale changes to elections. While not officially tied to Trump’s America First movement, it’s part of the broader effort promoting conservative candidates who align with the former president’s views.

4. It's like dealing with cockroaches.

Some of the same people keep popping up everywhere, making nuisances out of themselves. They're election deniers and Q-nuts, of course. Unfortunately, they're somewhat powerful election deniers and Q-nuts with money.

[Finchem] added: "We are in battle against a cartel."

No, idiot. You are in the cartel designed to destroy the established order of things, and the real battle is in your own addled mind. 🤦

5. Which just goes to show many of these fascists running for office are just as delusional...

...as the people who vote for them.

Oh, it's probably quite real they do have enemies in their own party, but not in the vast conspiracy sense that they view the world.

I'm never sure who is more dangerous: The grifters who know they're full of shit but play along with the Trump ass-kissing and other insanity for power, or the ones who are as deep down the Q-hole as Trump rally attendees.
