Friend,

Yesterday, California finally held a recall election for its governor, which Gavin Newsome won by a wide margin. But while Californians were still voting - before they even voted, in fact - the leading Republican candidate was preemptively declaring the election fraudulent. 

Larry Elder is just the latest Republican candidate to decide he’d rather campaign against the election than for it. He’s following in the footsteps of Donald Trump, borrowing the rhetoric of Tucker Carlson, and copying the playbook of aspiring dictators the world over. This isn’t a strategy to win elections, but a tactic to undermine them, and to sow distrust in the very core of democracy itself: the vote.

Larry Elder isn’t alone. Trump himself still crows about his election defeat, and desperate candidates like Adam Laxalt of Nevada are already claiming fraud in elections more than a year away. As we get closer to exercising our inalienable right to vote, the chorus of anti-election Republicans will no doubt grow louder.

So we must be the voice of liberty and reason. We must be the solemn defenders of our own right to self government. We must push back against the purveyors of conspiracy and lies. Help us send a message to every candidate in America that the validity of our elections is not up for debate, and if they want to convince us voting is worthless, we’ll prove just how powerful it can be.

The fate of the House and Senate is on the horizon, and the Presidency will be determined in just over 3 years. Time is short, and the work is critical. Be a part of the revolution of the rationals, and help us beat back the radicals attacking our elections today.
