CALLED OUT: April Becker Holds onto Money from GOP Candidate Accused of Voter Fraud

In case you missed it: NRCC-backed, NV-03 GOP candidate April Becker was called out for her hypocrisy when it comes to election integrity.

Becker accepted $2,900 from fellow NRCC-backed congressional candidate Matt Mowers, who admitted to voting in two states during the 2016 Republican presidential primary. The double-vote may have been a violation of federal election law and has received widespread backlash.

It’s particularly egregious coming from a candidate who contested the results of her own election due to alleged voter fraud – only to be struck down in court, as the American Independent reported:

“Becker has been vocal about her opposition to alleged voter fraud, challenging her loss for state Senate in Nevada in 2020. Becker filed a lawsuit in 2020 that sought to completely invalidate her one-point loss, citing so-called “un-trackable” ballots, and instead, hold a completely new election. A judge tossed out her challenge, ruling that Becker “put forth no evidence,” only “inadmissible hearsay” that did “not come close to meeting” the “heavy burden” of proving that the election should be overturned.”

Will April Becker return double-voting Mowers’ money, or will she be a hypocrite on one of the cornerstones of her GOP primary election campaign?

DCCC Spokesperson Johanna Warshaw
“April Becker was willing to cry false claims of voter fraud when it benefited her own election, but now that there is proof of it happening in her party, she looks the other way. It’s clear Becker’s silence can be bought for $2900.”
