Jason — I'm going to be frank: the midterms are two months away and our democracy is in danger. The Trump clan is laying out a pathway to the White House in 2024, starting with the election of hand-picked secretary of state candidates in battleground states. Trump's master plan is to run the same play as in 2020, but with better choreography and more loyalists in positions of power.
When we started The American SOS Project earlier this year, we knew there was no way to predict all the nefarious schemes Trump would pursue. But what's crystal clear is that he's counting on our inaction. Our democracy hinges on what we do right now — please, rush a donation to support our work to defeat election-denying secretary of state candidates this November.
Two years ago, we all witnessed Trump pressure state officials to "find votes," file bogus lawsuits, and call into question the legitimacy of mail-in ballots.
Here's what they're planning for next year if his hand-picked secretaries of state get elected in November:
- Refusing to certify accurate election results they don't like
- Enacting sweeping changes to election laws that make it harder for people to vote
- Restricting absentee and mail voting
- Giving Republican state legislatures the authority to overrule the will of the people
- Making voter registration forms more confusing
- Conducting "purges" of the voter rolls
- "Cleaning house" by replacing nonpartisan staff in state elections departments with Trump loyalists
These aren't just speculations – these are actual plans that extreme candidates in states like Nevada, Michigan, and Arizona have floated if they win in November. And these aren't long shots — they have a real chance of winning if people like me and you sit back and do nothing to stop them.
The next attempted coup is playing out in front of our eyes right now — it only takes one extreme, Trump-allied secretary of state to break our democracy.
I'm calling on you to go all-in on this mission with me — rush a donation of any amount to ramp up our efforts to stop Trump and save our democracy.
I can't do this without you — thank you,
Amy
