stew Peters is a far-right virulently anti-LGBTQ bigot who regularly uses his nightly “The Stew Peters Show” program, speeches, and social media accounts to promote white nationalists and antisemites and to spread wild conspiracy theories, bigotry, and calls for violence.Nevertheless, Peters regularly manages to get Republican leaders, elected officials, and candidates for office to appear on his program.
On Wednesday, far-right Arizona stateSen. Wendy Rogers appeared on Peters’ program, where she discussed her good friend Kari Lake’s never-ending effort to overturn her loss in the 2022 gubernatorial election to current Gov. Katie Hobbs.
When Peters declared that he hopes that Lake will prevail and then have Hobbs arrested, Rogers eagerly agreed.
“If she is installed as the legitimate governor, what about Hobbs?” Peters wondered. “Will she be arrested? Will all of the people who committed these crimes actually be held criminally accountable? This is what we need.”
“I want to see that,” Rogers replied. “I want to see that.”
Peters, though, does not have much faith in our political and judicial system, prompting him to declare that Americans should now be exploring “extra-legal options.”
“Speaking of enemy combatants, that’s what these people are,” Peters said. “They have taken over a country. They have affected a Marxist coup d’état.These are the real insurrectionists who have committed sedition.”
“The judiciary has failed us. The legal process has failed us. The voting process has failed us,” Peters continued. “So, I think that right now what Americans need to be exploring is our extra-legal options.”
The term “extra-legal” as Peters used it means “illegal,” of course, and potentially violently so.
“God bless America,” Rogers then responded as Peters ended the segment by expressing his love and appreciation for her.

At least 11 Republican nominees for state elections chief have disputed the legitimacy of the 2020 election
By Daniel Dale, CNN
Updated , Fri August 19, 2022
Washington (CNN)In at least 11 states, the Republican nominee for the job of overseeing future elections is someone who has questioned, rejected or tried to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
Secretaries of state will play a critical role in managing and certifying the presidential election in 2024. The distinct possibility that some of these secretaries will be people with a history of election denial is a major challenge for American democracy -- especially because former President Donald Trump, who is widely expected to run again in 2024, continues to pressure state officials to discard the will of voters.
More than half of GOP governor nominees have questioned or denied the legitimacy of the 2020 election

The Republican nominees for secretary of state in the November 2022 midterm elections include three swing-state candidates who have made efforts to overturn 2020 results in their states: Mark Finchem o
Arizona, Kristina Karamo of Michigan and Jim Marchant of Nevada.
The Republican nominee in Republican-dominated Alabama, Wes Allen, expressed support for a 2020 lawsuit that sought to get the Supreme Court to toss out Joe Biden's victory. The Republican nominee in Republican-dominated Indiana, Diego Morales, has called the 2020 election a "scam," the vote "tainted" and the outcome "questionable." The Republican nominee in Republican-dominated Wyoming, Chuck Gray, has said that Biden's victory was "illegitimate" and that he "absolutely" thinks Trump was the real winner.
The Republican nominee in Democratic-leaning but regularly competitive Minnesota, Kim Crockett, has described the 2020 election in her state as "lawless." The Republican nominee in the Democratic-dominated Connecticut, Dominic Rapini, is the former chair of a group that has made baseless complaints of 2020 fraud.
The Republican nominee in Democratic-leaning but sometimes competitive New Mexico, Audrey Trujillo, has called the 2020 election stolen. So have the Republican candidates in Massachusetts and Vermont, both obscure figures who face long odds of winning their liberal states in November.
There are some significant differences in the intensity with which these 11 nominees have committed to election rejection. For example, Morales acknowledged in June that Biden "legitimately occupies" the presidency, while Finchem, a serial promoter of wild conspiracy theories about the election, has persisted this year in his impossible quest to reverse Biden's victory in Arizona.
Twenty-seven states are holding secretary of state elections in 2022. CNN will update this list if we find information showing that the 2020 results have been disputed by additional Republican nominees. (The little-known South Dakota candidate who won the Republican nomination at a June convention, Monae Johnson, has broadly questioned the validity of US election results but we could not immediately find public comments she has made about the validity of the 2020 results in particular.
Alabama: Wes Allen
Rep. Wes Allen speaks during debate on transgender bills during the legislative session in the house chamber at the Alabama Statehouse in Montgomery, Ala., on Thursday April 7, 2022.
State representative Wes Allen, who won Alabama's Republican nomination in a June runoff election, endorsed the Texas-led legal effort to get the Supreme Court to overturn Biden's victories in four states -- tweeting in December 2020 that Alabama's attorney general should "stand firm" in support.
Allen has vowed to withdraw Alabama from a 31-state consortium that helps member states keep their voter rolls up to date, baselessly alleging that the consortium, which is funded and run by member states, is a "leftist" entity. Alabama's departing Republican incumbent secretary of state, John Merrill, has called Allen's claims "patently false" and defended the consortium as an important election security tool.
The Democratic nominee is Pamela Laffitte, a corrections sergeant for a county sheriff's office.

Arizona: Mark Finchem
Arizona state representative Mark Finchem (R-AZ) speaks at a rally in Iowa State Fairgrounds, in Des Moines, Iowa, U.S., October 9, 2021.
Mark Finchem is a far-right Arizona state representative who has for years promoted absurd conspiracy theories and other misinformation. Finchem has been aggressively dishonest about the 2020 election -- and he continues to push to "decertify" Biden's 2020 win in Arizona, though this cannot be done.
Finchem has repeatedly and falsely claimed that "Trump won" the election. He has falsely proclaimed that "the election was a fraud" and that it was "rigged." He demanded in mid-2021 that liberal officials and the media prove the falsity of election conspiracy theories that had already been proven false, even selling shirts reading "#ProveIt."
Finchem, who was endorsed by Trump last year and won the Republican primary earlier this month, played a key early role in the election-denying "Stop the Steal" movement in Arizona. After he attended the "Stop the Steal" rally in Washington on January 6, 2021, he was photographed outside the US Capitol during the insurrection that day. He also tweeted a sympathetic message about the rioters, blaming Congress for refusing to acknowledge the "rampant fraud" that, again, didn't exist. (Finchem denies any involvement in the riot and has not been charged with anything.)
On the first anniversary of the insurrection, Finchem tweeted a false claim that "the real insurrection" was how Democratic officials in Arizona had rigged the election with "tens of thousands of fraudulent votes" in two big counties won by Biden. This is just fiction.
In July,Finchem baselessly called for the arrest of incumbent Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, who is now the Democratic nominee for governor, and Adrian Fontes, the Democratic nominee for secretary of state who oversaw the 2020 election in Maricopa County, where many Republicans have baselessly alleged mass fraud.
