John,
Remember how you felt in the days after the 2020 election as you saw images of MAGA Republicans storming ballot counting centers, demanding election officials “STOP THE COUNT” and “STOP THE STEAL?”
Now, I don’t want to alarm you, but what if I told you that the Republican National Committee (RNC) is working to mobilize 100,000+ polling place monitors, poll workers and attorneys to serve as “election integrity” watchdogs in November.
If that goes as planned, images like the one below could be even more widespread - and dangerous - if the election doesn’t shake out in favor of Donald Trump.
Frontline News: Aspiring poll watchers banged on the glass outside the room where absentee ballots were being counted at TCF Center on November 4, 2020, in Detroit, Michigan.
No matter what happens in November, it’s clear our democracy is in unprecedented danger – and Democratic Secretaries of State are our best line of defense against attempts to subvert the rule of law.
But the sad truth is Democrats running in Secretary of State races are notoriously underfunded and overlooked, and that's despite their role overseeing critical elections -- including the ones Trump and his allies are gearing up to call "rigged" come 2024.
If you truly care about preserving our democracy, especially in the wake of Trump's surge, please donate $3 or more to elect Democratic Secretaries of State. Help us counter the MAGA-right's cash advantage.
