Progressive Democrat Issue 86: PROTECTING OUR VOTE

This is from Democracy for America and from myself.

First, from DFA:

The best way to protect our vote is to elect responsible, ethical leaders to the office of Secretary of State. When people like Ken Blackwell and Katherine Harris control the election process it should be no surprise that voters are disenfranchised and that our democracy is undermined.

Democracy for America is supporting four great Secretary of State candidates that will start restoring fairness to our elections. These candidates all support verifiable paper ballots and strong protections for voter rights. They all have a great chance to win, but they need your help to put their campaigns over the top. Please read more and help them in any way you can.

I have a larger effort to help Democrats running not only for Secretary of State, but also for Attorney General because THAT is the position we need to fill to end Republican cronyism and corruption. Here's my action:

Two state level positions that tend to be ignored are Secretary of State and Attorney General. Yet both of these positions are critical for things like fighting Republican corruption and attacks on our voting rights. This Act Blue page is dedictaed to winning some Sec. of State and Attorney General positions so we can start protecting our rights on the STATE level. In all seriousness, Sec. of State and Attorney General positions should be among our most important targets. I am also adding auditor and financial officer positions for some states because these posts also are important for fighting Republican corruption and cronyism. Let’s clean up American politics state by state, protecting our elections and ending corruption.

Please, please, please donate to one or both of these efforts. Our political system DESPERATELY needs reforming and we cannot reform in states where Republicans control these two positions.
