Republican Jim Marchant, a prominent election denier, has lost Nevada's secretary of state race to Democrat Cisco Aguilar, NBC News projected Saturday.

Aguilar, a lawyer and former staffer for the late Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., will make history as Nevada's first Latino secretary of state. He will succeed Republican Barbara Cegavske, who is term-limited and has served in the role since 2015.

The race for the Nevada’s top elections official has been closely watched in the days since Tuesday’s election, as former President Donald Trump’s allies have continued to cast doubt over the 2020 presidential election results in a battleground state where the winner will oversee the 2024 presidential election.

Marchant, a former Nevada state legislator, has been a prominent promoter of some of those claims, and has continued to insist that President Joe Biden did not win the state, raising concerns by some Democrats that a victory would pave the way for him to use the power of the office to influence the outcome of the 2024 race.

In 2020, Marchant pushed for a slate of so-called alternate slate of electors in the presidential election, and has since expressed the possibility of making a similar push in future elections.
