FiveThirtyEight just announced that 1 in 2 Americans will have an election denier on the ballot in November.
"An election denier winning election and taking office is more than a symbolic concern," according to FiveThirtyEight. "An election-denying Secretary of State could refuse to certify an election that he or she believes was rigged."
This echoes Liz Cheney’s concession speech warning last month: "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 will oversee the 2024 election.
Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold laid out the stakes in a recent interview: "The country could lose the right to vote in less than three months."
The Washington Post reports, "More than any other category of elected official, Secretaries of State could be instrumental in overturning the popular vote in their state -- an unprecedented move in American history."
HuffPost adds, "A victory for any one of [the election deniers] could cause chaos in 2024 if they choose to contest the results or delay or deny their certification."
Secretary of State races don't always get tons of national scrutiny. But in 2022, Democrats cannot afford to ignore the elections that will determine who conducts and oversees the 2024 election.
Thanks for being a bold progressive.
