John,
Trump’s Big Lie about his loss in the 2020 presidential election caused
widespread and damaging distrust in our elections and the people that help
administer them.
Earlier this month, the impacts of his actions continued to threaten our
democracy as the Republican National Committee called the Jan. 6th
insurrection “legitimate political discourse”, adding fuel to the fire.
The blatant misinformation that caused a mob of violent insurrectionists
to storm the U.S. Capitol—the very heart of our democracy— just over one
year ago, has now led to many of them seeking to gain power over elections
in cities and states across the nation.
Numerous insurrectionists are looking to become poll watchers and local
election officials, which is all part of a broader effort for them to gain
control over which ballots are counted and which are discarded.
We need to do everything we can to keep these insurrectionists out of
Congress and from becoming election officials.

and becoming poll workers and election officials.

As the elected officials that will oversee the administration of elections
and the certification of results in many states, secretaries of state play
an important role in safeguarding our democracy.
To ensure Americans’ faith in our elections and in our democracy,
Secretaries of State must disqualify all insurrectionists from serving in
office, including as election officials.
Our government has the tools, resources, and authority needed to prevent
the people who participated in January 6th’s insurrection from gaining
power over our elections.
Keeping them from becoming election officials and running for office is
just a matter of political will.
This is a make-or-break moment for our democracy.

Even with a Democratic President, Congress, and Senate, Joe Manchin and
Kyrsten Sinema stop us from getting much done.
The good news is that we only need to flip 3 Senate seats to take power
away from Manchin and our Senate candidates in Wisconsin, North Carolina,
Pennsylvania, and Kentucky are ready to do just that.
