Dear MoveOn member,
Earlier this week, Politico published a long article with this ominous
headline: "Who will run the 2024 election? They're on your ballot in
2022."^1
The article looks at the races in 27 states this fall to elect the top
official who will oversee the counting of ballots and certification of
results for the 2024 presidential election—and how Donald Trump and the
MAGA world are working to elect loyal followers who will throw out votes
and call the election in his favor, no matter the true outcome.^2
That means our democracy is on the line this November, and it is why
MoveOn made the unprecedented decision to invest millions of dollars in a
campaign to defeat Trump's candidates for these positions and elect people
who will protect our rights and count every vote.
We've told you about this plan before, and today we want to give you an
exciting update about our efforts.
Together, MoveOn members have raised nearly $1.5 million to help defeat
Mark Finchem, the Trump-endorsed candidate for secretary of state in
Arizona.^3 Finchem is an avowed white supremacist, supporter of the Big
Lie, and attended the January 6 insurrection.^4
This is a huge step toward success, but we cannot stop now. With Trump's
help, Finchem has raised almost $1 million, and he is only one candidate
in one state who must be defeated.^5
MoveOn is the only major progressive organization taking on this work
right now, and we cannot afford to slow down. John, will you
join with other MoveOn members and chip in $5 a month to
keep up this work?
[ [link removed] ]Yes, I'll chip in monthly.
[ [link removed] ]No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
Stopping Trump's effort to install lackeys in these roles in battleground
states like Arizona and Georgia—the two states that decided the 2020
election—is absolutely critical to protecting our democracy.
Arizona had the smallest margin of victory for Joe Biden in 2020, followed
closely by Georgia, where Trump famously asked Secretary of State Brad
Raffensperger to "find" 11,780 votes in order to flip the election in his
favor.^6
Trump has endorsed GOP Congressman Jody Hice in Georgia, where Hice, like
Finchem, believes the Big Lie and still supports overturning the
election.^7
Imagine how different the 2020 election would have looked if Finchem and
Hice had been in charge of counting the votes. That could be the nightmare
scenario we'll face in 2024 if we don't defeat these authoritarian
candidates this year.
And it is why MoveOn made the decision, for the first time in its 23-year
history, to invest millions in an effort to defeat Trump's chosen
candidates for secretary of state.
MoveOn members have stepped up to support this democracy-saving work, and
we need you to continue to do so until the last election is called this
November.
We can win this fight. Join us and chip in $5 a month.
[ [link removed] ]Yes, I'll chip in monthly.
[ [link removed] ]No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
Thanks for all you do.

Want to support MoveOn's work? Donald Trump's preparations for being able
to steal the presidency in 2024 are well underway and include working to
replace top election officials in battleground states with his own
loyalists. Which is why MoveOn is doing something we've never done in our
23-year history: We're launching a powerful, multimillion-dollar effort to
defeat Trump-backed secretaries of state across the country and elect
individuals who will count every vote and ensure fair elections.
Will you chip in monthly to power our campaign to defeat Trump and protect
our elections in 2022?
[ [link removed] ]Yes, I'll chip in $5 a month.
[ [link removed] ]No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
