Democrat Cisco Aguilar defeats Republican Jim Marchant, a prominent election denier, in Nevada's secretary of state race, NBCNews projects.
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.
Marchant, a former Nevada state legislator, has been a prominent promoter of some of those claims, and has continued to insist that President Joe Biden did not win the state, raising concerns by some Democrats that a victory would pave the way for him to use the power of the office to influence the outcome of the 2024 race.
