Mark Z. Barabak: If you think 2020 chaos was bad, imagine if Trump was put in charge of elections

On Jan. 6, 2021, Arizona lawmaker Mark Finchem — a practiced peddler of nutso conspiracy theories — stood outside the U.S. Capitol and tweeted his support for the mob seeking to overturn Joe Biden's victory.

"What happens when the People feel they have been ignored, and Congress refuses to acknowledge rampant fraud," Finchem wrote, pushing the election lie hatched in the Trump White House.

Returning home, Finchem not only supported the supposed "audit" of Biden's 2020 win in Arizona but also found a way to make a fast buck off the Maricopa County clown show by selling T-shirts reading "#Proveit."
