The Associated Press reports that in addition to death threats, cyber
attacks, disinformation, and ransomware, election officials across the
country are increasingly concerned about insider threats and "a wave of
candidates for state and local election offices this year who parrot
Trump’s false claims about his loss to Democrat Joe Biden."
Michigan's top elections official, Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson,
warns: "Putting them in positions of authority over elections is akin to
putting arsonists in charge of a fire department."
To protect our democracy, it is imperative that Democratic, pro-voter,
pro-democracy Secretary of State candidates have the resources to defeat
Republicans who subscribe to Trump's Big Lie.

While election security experts used to focus mostly on what a volunteer
poll worker or part-time employee could do to a polling place or county
system, the AP reports that "Now, the potential harm extends to the very
foundation of democracy -- conducting fair elections."
The AP continues: "This year, voters in 25 states will elect their state’s
chief election official, and several races feature candidates who dispute
the outcome of the 2020 presidential contest despite no evidence of
widespread fraud or a coordinated scheme to steal the election."
In most states, the chief election official is the Secretary of
State. Having Democratic, pro-voter, pro-democracy Secretaries of State is
more important than ever.
