Laxalt has consistently pushed for legal action to overturn the 2022 election if he loses
In Case You Missed It, National Republican Senatorial Committee Chair Rick Scott made his first public comments on corrupt politician Adam Laxalt’s plan to overturn the 2022 election.

In the week following his GOP primary nomination, Laxalt has faced extensive national and local scrutiny for leading efforts to try to overturn the 2020 election for Trump. As the “face of” the Big Lie in Nevada, Laxalt has centered his entire campaign on this conspiracy. He orchestrated failed lawsuit after failed lawsuit to stop the peaceful transfer of power in 2020.

Scott has disavowed Trump campaign claims of massive voter fraud in the 2020 election and emphasized Wednesday that President Joe Biden was fairly elected. Scott said Jan. 6 rioters should be prosecuted for actions that were disgraceful.
Laxalt assisted Trump campaign legal challenges claiming voter fraud in Nevada in 2020, efforts that were dismissed by judges, election officials and the Republican secretary of state.
Meanwhile, Scott said the Jan. 6 committee hearings are irrelevant to voters and will not sway the upcoming elections. He said the midterm elections would hinge on inflation, rising costs of goods and the lack of baby formula…
