Last election, Secretaries of State got A LOT of attention: [link removed] [[link removed]]
And for good reason: secretaries were on the ballot in 24 states where the officeholder serves as the chief election official.
Secretaries play the most important role in affirming the outcome of elections, but of the 24 races in play, 10 saw our Democratic candidates up against known election deniers. And John, these weren’t your grandfather’s Republicans: *
Take
Mark
Finchem
in
Arizona,
a
literal
member
of
the
extremist
Oath
Keepers
militia
that
was
involved
in
Trump’s
insurrection.
Finchem
himself
was
at
the
Capitol
on
Jan.
6,
and
could
have
been
in
charge
of
Arizona’s
elections
had
we
not
stopped
him.
*
*
Then
there
was
Jim
Marchant
in
Nevada,
a
MAGA
Republican
who
submitted
fake
elector
documents
in
2020
to
trick
Congress
into
flipping
Nevada’s
results.
*
*
And
there
was
Kristina
Karamo
in
Michigan,
who
rose
to
prominence
by
falsely
claiming
she
witnessed
fraud
as
a
poll
watcher.
Karamo
still
believes
Trump
was
the
true
victor
of
the
state.
She
also
has
yet
to
concede
her
own
race.
We defeated these anti-democracy candidates thanks to unprecedented support from grassroots donors like you. But the battle for our democracy is far from over.
Across the nation, the GOP continues to embrace Trump’s Big Lie. At the state level, Republican legislatures are deliberately creating barriers to the ballot box.
Strong, Democratic Secretaries of State are our best line of defense against attempts to undermine democracy. We need to be prepared, which is why we’re laying the groundwork now.
