I've said it before and I'll say it again: Election subversion in 2024 won't be a mob in the Capitol — it'll be county boards and city clerks fucking up the process every step of the way.
Steve Bannon has been recruiting QAnon believers, Proud Boys, and 'Big Lie' Republicans to run for election administration roles — positions that have access to voter rolls, that make rules about how elections are run and how accessible voting is, and even have the power to determine a voter's intention when it is unclear.
That's why Run for Something launched
Clerk Work — the biggest, boldest investment in electing pro-democracy candidates to election administration offices.
We've been running targeted ads and hiring more staff to specifically recruit 5,000 people to run for these roles. Candidly:
This kind of specialized recruitment at this scale is expensive, but lowering our goal isn't an option when the stakes are literally our democracy.
John, chip in

Recruiting 5,000 diverse young progressives to run specifically for election administration roles is an ambitious goal that comes with an ambitious price tag:
$80 million to be exact.
Some big donors have stepped up, but we still have a long way to go in a short amount of time. Remember — Republicans have been investing in local races for decades and using that power to pass anti-voter laws.
When we're facing white nationalists and domestic terrorists potentially running our elections, it's going to take a movement to solve this problem. We need support from big donors, from grassroots donors, from every state, from every community.
