In Liz Cheney's concession speech last night, she warned "We have candidates for Secretary of State who may refuse to report the actual results of the popular vote in future elections." 

She added, "No American should support election deniers for any position of genuine responsibility, where their refusal to follow the rule of law will corrupt our future.”

A Washington Post analysis backs up Cheney's concern, concluding: "Election deniers are marching toward power in key 2024 battlegrounds."

John, this is a five-alarm fire for our democracy. Can you join thousands of PCCC members across the country donating to Democratic, pro-democracy Secretaries of State campaigns in Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Michigan, Minnesota, and Nevada? These officials could be our last line of defense against efforts to overthrow democracy.

CNN agrees as well, warning that "​​The distinct possibility that some of these secretaries will be people with a history of election denial is a major challenge for American democracy."

The consequences of what's at stake are profound -- even in the immediate aftermath of the 2024 election. The Washington Post reports, "A close presidential contest that comes down to the outcome in states where officials are willing to try to thwart the popular will could throw the country into chaos" and "sow the seeds of civil strife on a scale even greater than what the nation saw on Jan. 6, 2021."

Campaigns for secretary of state often fly under the radar. But this year, Democrats cannot afford to ignore these races --and the candidates for these crucial positions need our support.

Please donate here to Democratic candidates for Secretary of State in Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Michigan, Minnesota, and Nevada who stand between democracy and authoritarian takeover -- and help support our work to elect honest vote counters.

Thanks for being a bold progressive.
