This week, the Nevada GOP announced that indicted fake elector and “Trump’s man in Nevada,” Nevada GOP Chair Michael McDonald along with fellow indicted fake elector and recently-arrested Clark County GOP Chair Jesse Law will be Nevada’s 2024 GOP presidential electors. Last weekend, the Nevada GOP held their closed-to-press state convention where Lombardo’s GOP also re-elected indicted fake elector Jim DeGraffenreid and Sigal Chattah, who said Nevada’s first-ever Black Attorney General should be “hanging from a f*cking crane” to the Republican National Committee.
A new report showed that Joe Lombardo has endorsed multiple election deniers for elected office this cycle. Lombardo endorsed Carrie Buck who suggested that “1,500 dead people voted in 2020;” Ken Gray who at a campaign rally in 2022, told a crowd of Trump supporters, “I do believe the election was stolen;” and Jill Dickman who complained of “voter fraud” in a 2020 Facebook post.
“It should not come as a shock to anyone that Nevada Republicans nominated indicted fake electors to be their 2024 presidential electors,” said Nevada State Democratic Party spokesperson Tai Sims. “Republicans have spent the last four years relentlessly spreading dangerous election conspiracy theories that threaten the basic functions of democracy but despite Joe Lombardo vetoing legislation that would have protected electors. Joe Lombardo – as the head of the Nevada GOP – should be held accountable for his role in enabling election denial.”
