The New York Times reports, "In 4 Swing States, Election Deniers Could Oversee Voting" after anti-democracy extremists won Republican primaries for Secretary of State Tuesday in Arizona and Michigan -- both key battleground states.
The Times: "These nominees present a growing risk to traditions of nonpartisan elections administration and orderly transfers of power…Their history of anti-democratic impulses has even prompted some fellow Republicans to question whether these officials would oversee fair elections and certify winners they didn’t support."
PCCC members were the first national activists this cycle to fight back and begin strengthening the campaigns of pro-voter, pro-democracy Democratic Secretary of State candidates.
Here’s more from the NY Times on the anti-democratic extremists seeking to control the 2024 election:
"Each has spread falsehoods about fraud and illegitimate ballots, endorsing the failed effort to override the 2020 results and keep former President Donald J. Trump in power…
"In Arizona, Republicans nominated Mark Finchem, who marched at the Capitol on Jan. 6…Finchem has made his willingness to flout democratic norms and his promotion of conspiracy theories central to his campaign…
"In Michigan…Kristina Karamo, who has called the 2020 election fixed and baselessly claimed that Dominion voting machine software flipped votes to Mr. Biden, is the party’s presumptive nominee for secretary of state…
"Victories by these candidates in November could lead to sweeping changes to how millions of Americans vote."
Allowing anti-democratic extremists to take control of our elections is not an option. Elections must be administered by candidates who believe in and will fight for democracy -- not against it.
Thanks for being a bold progressive.
