In response to a new report from the New York Times detailing audio recordings of Adam Laxalt’s plan to overturn the results of the 2022 elections before even a single vote is cast, DSCC spokesperson Patrick Burgwinkle released the following statement:
“Laxalt was the leader of Trump’s effort to steal the 2020 election in Nevada – and now he’s continuing to practice Trump’s dangerous brand of politics by plotting to overturn the 2022 election before a single Nevadan casts a vote. Laxalt has shown he’s a corrupt, power hungry politician who only cares about appeasing Trump and furthering his own political agenda, and that’s why he should have no place in the United States Senate.”
Previously, the Associated Press reported that Laxalt was preparing a legal strategy based on the Big Lie nearly 14 months before Election Day. NBC News reported that Laxalt has been telling rural Nevadans that their votes count but that votes in Clark and Washoe counties are fraudulent
