In 2020, right Wing extremists refused to accept the outcome of the presidential election and did everything they could to overturn its results.
In 2021, they coordinated an assault on our democracy with the goal of reversing the election and keeping Trump in power.
In 2022, many of those same Republicans were candidates for Secretary of State in key states, including Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, and Nevada.
The results of these elections determine whether we have a free and fair election in 2024 or the most serious constitutional crisis since the Civil War.
Republicans know they can’t win legitimately with their extremist policies. So they’re doing everything they can to ensure only the votes they agree with will be counted.
Fortunately, in the November 6th, 2022 elections, republicans underperformed, and extremism was kept at bay.
