Insurrection Backer Runs to Be Top Election Official

Arizona state Rep. Mark Finchem (R) has launched a campaign to be the state’s next secretary of state, “a powerful position that oversees the election system of one of the nation’s most important swing states,” Vice reports.

Finchem was in attendance at the January 6 rally and tweeted a picture of Capitol rioters with the caption: “What happens when the People feel they have been ignored, and Congress refuses to acknowledge rampant fraud. #stopthesteal.”
