Nevada GOP Senate Candidate Won’t Commit To Certifying 2024 Election Results – By Liz Skalka (Huff Post) / Oct 5 2021
Adam Laxalt, who is running with Trump’s backing, is also already saying he might challenge the outcome of his own race if he loses.
A Republican Senate candidate in Nevada wouldn’t say whether he would vote to overturn the results of the next presidential election, an issue that more GOP candidates running for both state and federal office may be called on to confront.
Former Nevada Attorney General Adam Laxalt dodged a question about certifying the 2024 results in Reno last week.
“I’m not going to answer that kind of hypothetical,” he told a KRNV interviewer during a campaign stop Oct. 1 when asked whether he would overturn the outcome.
Pressed by the interviewer, Laxalt said, “It’s absolutely not a fair question ― four years from now, who may be in an office and who may be running. We stood for election integrity in 2020. I continue to think it’s a problem for our state.”
