The Guardian is sounding an alarm for the Michigan Secretary of State race:
“A Trumpist takeover of the battleground state is raising eyebrows over concerns of the end of ‘free and fair elections’”
Trump isn’t just talking about overthrowing our democracy. He and his supporters are actively trying to replace Democratic pro-voter, pro-democracy Secretaries of State with partisan Big Lie believers in key swing states where the 2024 presidential race will likely be tight. That could give them a chance to overturn results they don't like.
The article outlines why Michigan in particular is especially troubling:
“Trump and his allies are backing numerous candidates in the coming midterm elections across the US, including in other vital states like Arizona and Georgia.
“But his intervention in Michigan raises particular eyebrows due to its role in helping Trump to win in 2016, before flipping back to the Democrats in 2020 and helping oust him from office.”
Trump and his followers have a real chance at overthrowing our democracy in 2022 and 2024. Now is the time to ensure pro-voter, pro-democracy Democrats win and preside over our elections.
Thanks for being a bold progressive.
