From The Washington Post: "Republicans just gave us a terrifying preview
of their 2024 strategy...reinforce the idea that every institution and
practice associated with the presidential campaign must be considered
corrupt and biased against Trump...especially the vote counting.

"The idea is to keep Trump’s supporters in a state of perpetual agitation
and grievance, one that will build and build all the way to the counting
of the votes, when it could explode if Trump is not immediately declared
the winner.

"Don’t forget that in state after state this year, Republicans are running
election fantasists to administer voting at the state and local level.
Some of them are absolutely unhinged, such as [Secretary of State
candidate] Mark Finchem in Arizona, a QAnon-spouting conspiracist and
self-proclaimed member of the far-right Oath Keepers who could well be in
charge of elections in that vital swing state in 2024."

[ [link removed] ]John, this is why thousands of PCCC members have donated to
the Democratic Association of Secretaries of State -- our ally working
with us to ensure that elections in key battleground states like Arizona,
Michigan, Nevada, Georgia, and Colorado, are administered by pro-voter,
pro-democracy Democratic Secretaries of State. Can you chip in today?

The Washington Post column shows how this scenario could play out in real
life in 2024:

"On every day of the campaign, Trump, the RNC and all their allies will be
clamoring like 5-year-olds: 'No fair! No fair!'

"After a campaign of non-stop complaining about how Trump and all his
supporters are victims of a rigged process, the votes come in, and it
looks like Biden has won again. Trump's angry supporters erupt into the
streets, convinced that the election is being stolen. What are the
Trumpist secretaries of state going to do?

"Will they just certify him as the winner of their state’s elections, no
matter what the votes actually were? Will Republican-controlled
legislatures in places such as Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina and
Wisconsin simply hand him their electoral votes? And if so, how will the
challenges fare with the Supreme Court’s conservative supermajority?"

This is the nightmare scenario -- and the reason Republicans are spending
millions of dollars on Secretary of State races this cycle. Now is the
time to ensure pro-voter, pro-democracy Democratic Secretary of State
candidates have the resources to win and preside over the election in
2024.
