secretary of state race

Republican Jim Marchant, a prominent election denier, has lost Nevada's secretary of state race to Democrat Cisco Aguilar, NBC News projected Saturday.

Aguilar, a lawyer and former staffer for the late Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., will make history as Nevada's first Latino secretary of state. He will succeed Republican Barbara Cegavske, who is term-limited and has served in the role since 2015.

The race for the Nevada’s top elections official has been closely watched in the days since Tuesday’s election, as former President Donald Trump’s allies have continued to cast doubt over the 2020 presidential election results in a battleground state where the winner will oversee the 2024 presidential election.

In 2020, Marchant pushed for a slate of so-called alternate slate of electors in the presidential election, and has since expressed the possibility of making a similar push in future elections.
