Of 15 #Republican candidates for Secretary of State (the office that oversees #elections), in 5 battleground states,

10 lack confidence in the 2020 results or flat-out claim it stolen.

Only 2 of 9 interviewed acknowledged #Biden as the legitimate winner. reut.rs/3EKY6fd

In 2020, #Trump, and #GOP legislators, not only undermined trust in elections, with false claims repeatedly debunked, they told partisan state legislators to send electors for Trump in states where voters selected Biden; a blatant rejection of #democracy.

It was only laws, and honorable officials holding to those laws, that prevented the #coup from succeeding.

The GOP are not done. Those protections are only going to get weaker with time.

If we don't succeed in pushing through #election #reforms, removing the #filibuster, passing the #FreedomToVoteAct, and more, very soon, the result is inevitable.

We cannot afford to wait on this.

Get the people in your life up to speed and get them engaged.

If you're unaware of the issues to be solved or the decades-long trend in #America away from democracy and toward #authoritarianism, this thread has what you need.

More from the article:
Nearly all the #GOP contenders stressed a desire to restrict mail-in #voting, ballot drop boxes, and other voter access.

A majority said they backed more frivolous GOP #audits.

Shawnna Bolick - an #Arizona state representative and GOP contender for state elections chief - proposed a law empowering the Arizona legislature to overrule the secretary of state’s certification of the peoples' vote results - what Trump tried for during his coup.
