"People [are] recognizing that secretaries of state are one of our last lines of defense. And people are paying attention now."

– from CNN

Let's be real, Diane –

The state officials who oversee elections don't usually get a lot of attention. But all that is changing due to the sheer number of MAGA election deniers running for office.

  • First, Axios reported that "Democrats are intensifying their focus on secretary of state contests [amidst] arguments that they are the guardians against 2024 presidential election results being overturned."

  • And at the NDRC, we've now made a total of FIVE secretary of state endorsements in key swing states: Arizona, Georgia, Ohio, Michigan, and Nevada. At least three of our candidates are running against 2020 election deniers who could sow chaos in 2024.

Will you chip in to support these Democracy Defender candidates and do much more?

"Let's just say one of these [election deniers] win[s], and they refuse to certify the votes because they don't like the results. It's a constitutional crisis if the election is close, as it usually is.

So, how could there be anything more important than making sure that we get pro-voting advocates of free and fair elections into [secretary of state] offices?"

– from CNN

They nailed it, Diane – it's incredibly important. And that's exactly why we're working so hard to protect democracy by helping to elect fair-minded candidates, defending the right to vote, and protecting election infrastructure.

But one thing is for sure: None of our plans will be successful without the engagement of people like you.
