Friend,
Of all the dangerous, conspiracy-mongering candidates on the ballot this
November, there's one group that poses a particular threat to our
democracy: The 'Big Lie' election deniers running to take over the
offices that oversee our elections.
Here's the story: In most states, an elected official, often the
secretary of state, oversees elections, counts votes, and declares who
wins. Historically, these offices have been filled by low-key public
administrators who go quietly about their business and rarely attract
media attention.
But now, pro-Trump election deniers who still claim that he won the 2020
presidential election are running to take over these critical positions
in key battleground states like Pennsylvania, Arizona, Wisconsin, and
Michigan. If they win, they will undoubtedly use their authority to
throw out votes and declare Trump the winner in 2024-just like Trump
tried to do in 2020.
In the past, Common Dreams hasn't paid a lot of attention to races for
secretary of state, and neither have voters. This year, that needs to
change. We're sounding the alarm to alert voters about what's at
stake in these elections so they can make an informed choice.
To fund our news gathering operations during this crucial midterm
election cycle, we've set a must-reach goal of $75,000 by September 1.
We don't accept a dime of corporate ad money, and we never will. But
we can only pull this off with your help.
Will you make a donation to help support Common Dreams during this
all-important midterm election season?

Thank you,Â
