Hey John,
What's scarier than one Donald Trump trying to subvert an election?
Thousands of QAnon supporters, Oath Keepers, Proud Boys, insurrectionists, and election deniers in election administration positions who
literally have the power to oversee elections and determine the future of democracy.
This isn't hypothetical. Check out some of the recent headlines from this past week:

"Cleta Mitchell Is Training Thousands of Trump Loyalists to Monitor the Polls on Election Day. What could go wrong?" - Intelligencer
"Conspiracy pushers target races for local election posts" - AP News
"60 Percent Of Americans Will Have An Election Denier On The Ballot This Fall" - Nate Silver's FiveThirtyEight

John, I don't like to be an alarmist, but this is cause for serious fucking alarm. Free and fair elections are under assault all over.
Election protection needs to be a top priority, which is why I'm setting a MASSIVE $10,000 end-of-month grassroots fundraising goal to help recruit and elect pro-democracy, progressive, and diverse candidates this cycle and beyond. Chip in
$5
or more to help.
If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:
There are as many as 1,700 elections this year for election administration offices or positions that can appoint election administrators, creating a dizzying patchwork of places where election conspiracy theorists can destabilize the country’s whole voting system.
Steven Bannon, Trump, and all their election-denier allies have been working together to get their people into as many of these powerful offices as possible.
It's going to take a massive and well-planned movement to fight back. That's exactly where YOU come in, John.
Chip in
$5
or more today so we can hit our $10,000 goal to continue recruiting and electing diverse young progressives.
Let's go,
