Dear John,
The same people behind the January 6 insurrection are now trying to overthrow the government in a slow-motion coup.
If they succeed, you can kiss our democracy goodbye.
In 37 states, the secretaries of state are the chief elections officers. That means they oversee elections and voter registration. In 2020, they held the United States’ rickety democracy together by certifying Joe Biden’s win.
But what happens if secretaries of state won’t protect democracy?
In most states, they are elected. And it’s precisely those elections that Trump and his cronies are targeting.
Our latest video reveals Trump’s plan to take over the machinery of our democracy so he can steal the election in 2024.
We can’t allow our democracy to be overtaken like this.
These positions, especially secretaries of state, are the last lines of defense in a democracy.
In 2020, millions of people organized, volunteered, and voted to keep American democracy alive. We, the people, must work to elect public servants who will uphold democracy and stand up to those who are hellbent on undermining it.
We must keep our eyes on these races, and do everything we can to keep Trump and his lackeys from undermining the will of the people in 2024.
Thanks for watching,
Robert Reich
