Trump has endorsed fervent proponents of his "Big-Lie" in Secretary of State races in Arizona, Georgia, and Michigan. In most states, including these, the Secretary of State is the top election official.

The New Yorker reports that if Trump's candidates win, "He’ll know that in the event of another close race, his acolytes will put their thumbs on the scales and make victory that much more likely."

Don't let that happen.

Thousands of PCCC members have donated to the Democratic Association of the Secretaries of State -- our ally working to ensure pro-voter, pro-democracy Democrats win critical Secretary of State elections in Arizona, Nevada, Georgia, and Michigan. Can you chip in today?

Here's more from the New Yorker about the actions Trump is taking:

"Even as Congress investigates Donald Trump’s attempted 2020 election coup, the former president is working hard to undermine future contests around the country.

Trump is aggressively intervening in state contests for secretary of state. At stake is control of the election machinery in states where Trump failed to prevail in his false but vociferous claims that Joe Biden’s victory was illegitimate.

Trump has endorsed candidates in Arizona, Georgia, and Michigan, three very close 2020 states where he got no cooperation from secretaries of state in advancing his wild claims of election fraud."

And here's what the New Yorker says about type of candidates Trump is endorsing:

In Michigan: "If there were any doubt about her allegiances, Karamo dispelled them the day after January 6, 2021, declaiming: 'I believe this is completely antifa posing as Trump supporters … I mean, anybody can buy a MAGA hat and put on T-shirt and buy a Trump flag.' She has opposed COVID-19 vaccines and the teaching of evolution and called public schools 'government indoctrination camps.'"

In Arizona, "Trump endorsed Finchem, who really does take the MAGA cake... Finchem has been subpoenaed by the House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack for questions about his antics with Giuliani. He also attended Trump’s January 6 rally in Washington and was photographed near the Capitol, though he claims he never entered it."

Finally, the New Yorker warns that "While these are the three close 2020 states where Trump has already intervened in secretary of state races, others could follow."

Our democracy is hanging by a few thin threads -- and one of them is making sure that the top election officials in key swing states are people who actually, fervently believe in democracy and will fight to protect it!
