National political media reports and her own words suggest that Liz Cheney will use her new PAC to go after election-deniers from Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley (in 2024) to Secretaries of State.
This comes after she warned last week that "We have candidates for Secretary of State who may refuse to report the actual results of the popular vote in future elections."
Thousands of PCCC members across the country have been donating to Democratic, pro-democracy Secretary of State campaigns in battleground states for over a year to protect the offices that oversee elections.
A new NBC poll shows that Americans’ number one concern heading into the midterms is no longer “jobs and the economy” or “cost of living.” It’s “threats to democracy.”
A Washington Post analysis backs up the concern, concluding: "Election deniers are marching toward power in key 2024 battlegrounds."
CNN agrees, warning, "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.
Thanks for being a bold progressive.
