LINCOLN - Bob Evnen is candid in discussing sensitive political challenges and issues over morning coffee at the Cornhusker, moving from on-the-record answers to off-the-record observations and conversations.
Nebraska's secretary of state won the Republican nomination for a second term in last month's primary, but two lesser-known challengers racked up a combined 125,778 votes compared to his 98,263.
"The manner in which I ran my race would have been different if I had had only one opponent," Evnen noted before stepping into off-the-record territory.
In a similar fashion, Speaker of the Legislature Mike Hilgers won the GOP nomination for attorney general, but a little-known Republican challenger amassed 73,906 votes.
It happened to State Treasurer John Murante, too. His Republican primary challenger tallied 92,522 votes compared to the incumbent's 121,808.
The Washington Post pointed to the ongoing questions regarding the validity of the 2020 election results when taking note of the large vote for Evnen's GOP primary challengers in its story about Nebraska's primary election results.
Robert Borer, one of the Republican challengers who lost, says "our elections are rigged" and he is now a write-in candidate for governor in November.
