"The country could lose the right to vote in less than three months." That's the warning Jena Griswold gave to The Guardian this weekend. As Secretary of State, Jena oversees elections in Colorado -- and as president of the Democratic Association of Secretaries of State, she's in contact with election officials across the country.
Jena continues: "What we can expect from the extreme Republicans running across this country is to undermine free and fair elections for the American people, strip Americans of the right to vote, refuse to address security breaches and, unfortunately, be more beholden to Mar-a-Lago than the American people."
John, 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.
In an email to PCCC members earlier this year, Jena Griswold wrote, "PCCC has been an incredible partner in this fight for democracy and I'm so thankful for their support in Secretary of State races this year."
Her warning about losing the right to vote comes on the heels of Liz Cheney's concern that "We have candidates for Secretary of State who may refuse to report the actual results of the popular vote in future elections."
The Guardian: "Having failed to overturn the 2020 vote, Trump and his loyalists are now strategically targeting positions that will play a critical role in supervising the next presidential election, turning many of the secretary of state contests this year into expensive, partisan showdowns."
Secretary of State races don't always get tons of national scrutiny. But in 2022, Democrats cannot afford to ignore the 2022 elections that will determine who conducts and oversees the 2024 election.
Thanks for being a bold progressive.
