This misinformation has been seen by millions. This kind of spread of false information poses a significant threat to our democratic process.

We need assurances that X users, and all voters, can get accurate voter information.

As your Secretary of State, I’m working to confront the sources of false information wherever they may be.

Unfortunately, misinformation is going to get more intense as we get closer to November and it’s critical that we fight back. I’m hoping you’ll say that you’re with me on this. I’m looking for another 230 people to join my campaign this week. Can you chip in $10 or more to support our efforts? [[link removed]]

Voters deserve the truth, which means social media companies have to correct their mistakes when they learn about them. It’s time for companies like X to do right by voters.

That’s why I led an effort among other Secretaries of State to send an open letter to X owner Elon Musk, urging him to immediately implement changes to Grok to ensure voters receive accurate information about election rules.

The response from X was, unfortunately, lackluster.

That’s why we need folks like you to join us in fighting against disinformation. Now that we’re in the general election more people are tuning in and we need to have the resources to correct the record. That’s why your support is so critical. Please join our team this week by chipping in any amount now → [[link removed]]

Thank you,

Steve
