Jim Marchant's decision to run for Nevada secretary of state came down to the wire.
The former state lawmaker, among the loudest voices claiming Nevada's election system to be fraudulently run, initially announced a bid for Congress. But in the final hours of March's candidate filing period, he decided to run for secretary of state, which oversees the state's elections. Campaign finance reports show that he raised zilch in the first three months of 2026.
In early May, Marchant told The Nevada Independent that his lack of fundraising is "not going to be a problem," despite facing opponents with tens of thousands of dollars in their coffers, one of whom ran television ads and had the backing of Gov. Joe Lombardo (R).
He was right.
In what became perhaps the most unlikely result of last week's primaries, Marchant — who has said wants to unregister, then re-register all voters in Nevada, verify people's identities through their heartbeats and has not trusted election results in decades, including the times when he won — emerged victorious by more than 3,000 votes.

But Secretaries of State tend to (somehow!) get themselves reelected. See Georgia and Arizona.
Money must be the wild card in republican loyal steadfastness
There are no guarantees, take Georgia Brian UnKemp (R????) and his vote counter who together with a few equally contemptuous expectedly democrat run states STOLE the 2020 Presidential Election from us.
Nevada’s lost a bid for AG.
This is Marchant’s second bid for SOS. In 2022 he campaigned heavily against Democrat vote fraud and made election integrity the cornerstone of his approach. Marchant made it close and lost by 2.2% to a Democrat who had about 5x the amount of cash to work with as Marchant had.
Elections are often teasingly close in Nevada, but Republicans only win when the “powers that be” allow it to happen — for example Squish Lombardo being allowed to defeat unpopular incumbent Democrat Steve Sisolak in that year.
Why would a GOP Governor be allowed to prevail but not a SOS?
Because an impotent squish Governor facing a veto-proof Democrat legislature is far less powerful than a Secretary of State. Don’t believe it? Ask George Soros.
“””The former state lawmaker, among the loudest voices claiming Nevada’s election system to be fraudulently run,”””
If I were a Nevada resident, I would have voted for him.
Lombardo keeping the seat is our only hope. Amodeo was a squish but it was necessary.
