| "I think this is the most dangerous time for the state of our democracy other than the Civil War."
– Bill Gates, a Republican election supervisor from Arizona
Help the NDRC fight back nationwide >> Last November, our grassroots movement helped defeat election deniers in states like Arizona, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and more. But the truth is that while we prevented these dangerous politicians from gaining power, they haven't gone away.
People like Kari Lake are still trying to overturn the 2022 election results in Arizona – and she has even gone so far as suggesting violence: "Kari Lake … is still anointing herself 'the real governor' and saying that election officials who certified her defeat are 'crooks' who 'need to be locked up.' …
"To uproarious applause, she went on to invoke the Second Amendment and the bloody American Revolution against a tyrant. 'I think we're right there right now, aren't we?' she said."
– The Atlantic | It's not just in Arizona. In several states, right-wing activists are spending millions to elect judges who they believe could help overturn the presidential election results in 2024. And in states like Ohio and Texas, Republican lawmakers who promote the Big Lie are working to pass even more onerous restrictions on voting.
Fight back: Help the NDRC defend election fairness nationwide >>>
But here's the good news, Diane: The situation is far from hopeless. Our movement has made significant progress in the fight to defend democracy. As President Obama said recently, "[The NDRC has] been fighting to give people everywhere a fair shot. Our democracy is stronger today because of their hard work."
With vote suppressors, map manipulators, and election deniers continuing their attempts to seize unearned power, we must continue this work. Together, we have the chance to hold MAGA Republicans accountable, help elect leaders who will fight for fairness, combat attacks on our election infrastructure, and so much more.
It might just save our democracy, Diane.
