Nevada GOP Secretary of State responds scathingly after party censures her over election 'fraud'

Nevada Secretary of State Barbara Cegavske, a Republican, strongly pushed back after the state GOP voted to censure her over its baseless belief that she was complicit in allowing President Joe Biden to win the 2020 election through "massive fraud."

Cegavske is just the latest GOPer to face censure from fellow Republicans for accurately pointing out that former President Donald Trump's claims of widespread voter fraud are groundless. Despite constantly repeating the extraordinary allegations, the former president and his loyalist supporters have failed to provide credible evidence to support those claims.

On Saturday, the Nevada Republican Party voted to censure the secretary of state.

In a statement, Cegavske defended herself and pointed out, once again, that the claims of widespread fraud are without merit.

"Regrettably, members of my own political party have decided to censure me simply because they are disappointed with the outcome of the 2020 election," she said.

"My job is to carry out the duties of my office as enacted by the Nevada Legislature, not carry water for the state GOP or put my thumb on the scale of democracy."

Is the GOP really where you want to be?

With this vote, they have officially stated that their goal as a political force is corruption and cheating.

Why would you want to be a part of that?

GOP continues down this path of voter disenfranchisement what will happen when they are successful? Do they think that the vast majority of people will accept it? I wonder have they realized that with all their land mass, the land won’t carry guns, but the people will.
