election denier wants to run the state’s elections.

PHOENIX – State Rep. Mark Finchem, the leading GOP candidate to be Arizona’s next secretary of state, wants to ban electronic voting machines and force the state to use only paper ballots and count them by hand, according to a lawsuit filed earlier this year.

He's been linked to QAnon conspiracy theorists, is backed by former President Donald Trump and tried to get state lawmakers to throw out the state's electoral votes for President Joe Biden in 2020, the first Democrat to win the state in 24 years.
