The Republican nominee for Salt Lake County clerk says he used to believe the 2020 election was stolen from former president Donald Trump, but, with the county clerk race now five weeks away, Goud Maragani says he has changed his views.

Goud Maragani, the GOP nominee for Salt Lake County clerk, says he no longer believes the 2020 election was fraudulent.

He’s also posted on social media that “most of the cheating issues” in elections come from mail-in ballots, a method of voting that Maragani claims are the “least safe” in a post on his website. He explained his worries about a stolen election drove him to get more involved with politics, which led him to head up the Salt Lake County Republican Party’s Election Integrity Committee, which examined the county’s election processes.

His Telegram posts end on April 1, 2022, shortly before he won the Salt Lake County GOP’s nomination.
