Dear MoveOn member,
The latest polls show that Donald Trump's Big Lie candidate for Georgia secretary of state, Jody Hice, is dangerously close to winning the Republican primary in just two weeks.1
Meanwhile, Big Lie conspiracy theorists are also running for Georgia attorney general and governor, and a startling new investigation from The Guardian has found that at least eight of Georgia's county-level election officials are full-fledged believers in Trump's Big Lie that the 2020 election was stolen.2
Add it up, and Donald Trump cronies are on the verge of taking over the election apparatus from top to bottom in one of the most important battleground states.
It's a slow-motion coup unfolding right before our eyes, and this same story is occurring in Arizona, Wisconsin, Michigan, and several other key states.3
That's why MoveOn is doing something we've never done in our history. We've launched a multimillion-dollar campaign to defeat Trump's candidates for these positions and elect people who will protect our rights and count every vote.
Will you chip in $5 a month to help defeat the Trump-backed candidates for secretary of state and ensure that every vote is counted?
No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
Donald Trump's attempted coup in 2020 was stopped only when election officials refused to buckle under pressure to throw out votes and declare him the winner.
Since then, the Republicans who stood up to Trump have been systematically purged from the party, replaced by Trump stooges pledging allegiance to his Big Lie that the election was stolen.
For instance, in West Virginia, Trump-backed Big Lie supporter Alex Mooney won last week's Republican congressional primary against an incumbent whose biggest sins were voting in favor of certifying the 2020 election, the bipartisan infrastructure bill, and a 9/11-style commission to investigate January 6.4
Overall, Trump has endorsed more than 100 candidates in this year's midterm elections. The vast majority of them believe his Big Lie that the 2020 election was stolen, and nearly all of them so far have won their primaries.5,6
To fight back, MoveOn has made the unprecedented decision to invest millions of dollars to defeat Trump's candidates for secretary of state and other key election offices.
This is democracy-saving work; the more primaries Trump's candidates win, the greater the danger we face.
Will you donate $5 a month to help stop Trump's candidates for secretary of state and defend our democracy?
No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
Thanks for all you do.
