Mark Finchem is one of the last people you'd want administering elections in a presidential battleground, yet Republicans nominated him Tuesday to be Arizona's secretary of state, in another victory for denialists backed by former president Donald Trump.Two years after Mr. Trump lost Arizona by more than 10,000 votes, Mr. Finchem continues to agitate for Arizona to decertify its results — never mind that it isn't legally possible.
