Stop Election Sabotage!

THE PROBLEM:

Every vote should count.

But those who believe Republican leaders:

• Think the 2020 election was stolen, and
• Are preparing to sabotage upcoming elections to make sure Republicans win no matter how citizens vote.

Here’s how:

1. They’re placing election deniers into positions affecting elections, including running candidates for Secretary of State who oversee elections.
2. They’re suppressing votes by knocking Democrats off voter lists and intimidating voters, targeting voters of color.
3. Republican legislators are passing laws to make it easier to manipulate election results and to alter certification. For example, Georgia’s Republican-controlled state-legislature has granted itself the power to refuse to certify a Democratic win or certify a Republican win even when the Democratic candidate gets more votes.

THE SOLUTION:

We must protect our election integrity. The best way to do that is to elect honest Secretaries of State who oversee elections, particularly in swing states.

We call on all Americans to join us in supporting candidates for Secretary of State who are committed to fair elections. SIX races are key in the battle for election integrity:

• Arizona (Adrian Fontes)
• Colorado (Jena Griswold)
• Georgia (Bee Nguyen)
• Michigan (Jocelyn Benson)
• Minnesota (Steve Simon)
• Nevada (Cisco Aguilar)
