Voters head to polls as Michael Adams runs against two GOP members who support election conspiracy theories
Kentucky’s Republican secretary of state has earned widespread praise for increasing his state’s voter turnout during the coronavirus pandemic and for expanding opportunities to vote. He has also shot down conspiracy theories about the 2020 election and defended his state’s election system from claims of fraud, a stance that could cost him his job.who align themselves with the growing faction within the GOP who believe elections are frequently rigged and stolen.
The race marks the latest in what’s likely to be a long series of primary contests in which more moderate, mainstream Republicans are challenged by candidates to their right who are allied with Trump and who deny the results of the 2020 election. Both challengers want Kentucky to join the eight states that have recently left the Electronic Registration Information Center , a national database used by a majority of states to compare voter rolls and keep them accurate. Fueled by false claims and conspiracy theories about the network’s ties to the liberal donor George Soros, Republicans who once praised Eric now claim it doesn’t protect election integrity.
