John, your state’s Secretary of State is the first line of defense when it comes to election integrity. Especially this year, because … Insurrectionists are still agitating to steal our elections, and some of them are campaigning to be Secretaries of State. Will you join me in giving $2, $5, $10 or whatever you can afford to the Democratic Association of Secretaries of State, so we can ensure that in 2024 we have someone setting up the electoral process and counting votes in each key state who believes in democracy? During the shocking Jan. 6th hearings, we found that Donald Trump, Mark Meadows, Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley and dozens of House members, state legislators, governors and other officials told the deadly lie that Donald Trump won the election enough times that it inspired people to commit acts of vandalism, violence and treason. Two of these individuals, de-programmed, as if from a cult, talked about why they attacked the Capitol on January 6th, 2020, why they were there, what they believed, and what they intended to do. And it all came down to one very simple fact: If they had not been lied to by Republicans day in and day out--the very Republicans who are still inciting riot every day by lying about this election--then January 6th would not have happened. A dozen or so House members were revealed to have met with Donald Trump to plan the coup, likely leading to criminal liability for them. Yet, some of them and various other GOP officials are now running for positions where they will have control of state election machinery. For example, one of these coup plotters, Jody Hice of Georgia, was running for Secretary of State (SoS) in a primary vs Republican Brad Raffensberger, who stood up to Trump's calls for stealing votes. |
