Election denier wins GOP primary to be Nebraska's election chief [View all]
An Omaha businessman who has questioned the legitimacy of the 2020 election and spread voting conspiracy theories won the Republican nomination Tuesday to be Nebraska’s next secretary of state.
Scott Petersen defeated the incumbent, Secretary of State Bob Evnen (R) by a vote of 93,672-77,395.
Should Petersen win the general election in November, as is likely in the Republican-leaning state, he would be one of the most extreme and right-wing chief election officials in the country.
During his campaign, Petersen amplified conspiracies about the 2020 election — notably ones related to the FBI’s January raid of a Fulton County, Georgia election hub.
