We project that one of the worst election deniers in the country, Jim Marchant, has been defeated in the NV SOS race.
This is a huge victory for democracy in Nevada.
One of the most dedicated public servants in Nevada has defeated an election denier under investigation by the FBI and a woman totally unqualified for the office.
Another big in for democracy in this state.

"...plaintiffs’ claims were legally frivolous..."
Always good for AG candidate to have a fed judge not only call your lawsuit frivolous but force your client to pay $57K in legal fees.
That Chattah-Gilbert legal alliance is potent, as if the Washington Generals were a law firm.

News of the Future 2031: An 85 year old Donald Trump wanders his Florida Trailer Park dressed only in a bathrobe telling anyone who will listen: "I won the election. I totally won it."
