Hey John,
Democracy won't end with a mob storming the Capitol — it'll end with even one county election board refusing to certify results they don't like.

Could election denialism in a feuding Arizona county upend US democracy?
– The Guardian

While most of us accepted the 2022 midterm election outcomes, two election deniers — a former border patrol agent and a "Stop the Steal" rally goer — have not. The issue? They’re members of the Board of Supervisors in Cochise County, AZ.
After pushing out the longtime county elections director with their harassment, the two extremist board members appointed a Republican election skeptic
near total control of future elections in Cochise County.
We don't sound the alarm lightly, these really are the headlines that keep us up at night.
In a swing state like Arizona, all it takes are a few extremists in key local positions to bring dire consequences for the entire country.
That’s why we created Clerk Work —
our multi-million dollar program to protect elections at the local level.
Democracy lives or dies by the outcome of local elections, which is why we're asking you to chip in
$5
or any amount you can to support our work and stop election deniers like the ones in Cochise County from ever making it into office in the first place.
