In his failed bid to oversee Arizona elections as Arizona's Secretary of State, Finchem baselessly promoted former President Trump's Big Lie of election and voter fraud.
- Finchem fervently supported the "Stop the Steal" movement, which falsely claimed that Donald Trump won the 2020 election nationally and in Arizona,
- called for the Arizona legislature to appoint "presidential electors of its own choosing" (fake electors),
- was a chief proponent of the discredited post-election ballot review in Arizona (fake audits), and
- and naturally was enthusiastically endorsed by Trump in his bid to oversee future elections in Arizona.
- Election-denier Finchem characteristically has not yet conceded loss of his bid for Secretary of State of Arizona, premised on a promise to root out non-existent voter and election fraud.

Just weeks before the November 2022 election, a group backed by Donald Trump’s former national security adviser, Flynn and Overstock.com founder Patrick Byrne is challenging the eligibility of tens of thousands of Georgia voters .
And today former national security adviser is fusing deranged political ideas with a mangled version of the Christian faith. Learn More

2020: Steve Bannon sought to overturn the certified results falsely alleging illegal voting, mail-in ballots and voting machines.
He and Peter Navarro authored a plan "to pressure Vice President Mike Pence to misuse his role as the person officially counting electoral ballots and instead reject them, delaying the certification of Biden’s victory and giving Republican-controlled state legislatures time to overturn the election."

Key Takeaways on Heritage's False Cry of Election Fraud
1. Heritage's “Election Fraud Database” is a sham, providing zero evidence of voting fraud changing election outcomes.
2. That sham claim is, in turn, the basis for Heritage Action's “Factsheet,” the acknowledged blueprint for the new vote-suppressing laws adopted in 19 Red states, disingenuously promoted as ensuring “election integrity” .
Forty years ago, Paul Weyrich, who helped establish the Heritage Foundation, admitted, “I don’t want everybody to vote. As a matter of fact, our leverage in the elections quite candidly goes up as the voting populace goes down.” Learn More
Poor Ted - unmanned, unprincipled, unliked, yet drowning in ambition:
"The call was just one step in a collaboration [between Trump and Cruz] that for two months turned the once-bitter political enemies into close allies in the effort to keep Trump in the White House based on the president’s false claims about a stolen election. By Cruz’s own account, he was “leading the charge” to prevent the certification of Joe Biden as president."

On "The Beat" tonight, Ari Melber connected Trump Co-Conspirator John Eastman to Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX). Just before midnight on January 6, 2021, after the attack on the U.S. Capitol, Eastman wrote to Pence’s lawyer to beg him to get Pence to adjourn Congress “for 10 days to allow the legislatures to finish their investigations, as well as to allow a full forensic audit of the massive amount of illegal activity that has occurred here.” On the floor of the Senate at about the same time, Cruz, who voted against certification, used very similar language when he called for “a ten-day emergency audit.” Learn More
