The 2022 Midterm Elections will determine if we hold on to our democracy or lose it to anti-democratic forces. Here’s how:

What’s happening nationally
147 members of Congress voted to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. They have increasingly supported anti-democratic ideologies in the time since then. In the past two years, Election Deniers running for office have openly rallied against certifying election results with which they disagree. If we do not vote to keep Election Deniers in the minority in 2022 (they only need to flip 6 seats to gain a majority), the 2024 presidential election will be chosen by them rather than the voters.

​

What’s happening with states
Who runs our elections is now the biggest threat to our democracy. Our national elections are administered by states. State officials–Governors, Secretaries of State, Attorneys General–act as our election referees, controlling whether elections are free and fair. An increasing number of Election Deniers have won primary elections this year and are on the ballot for statewide offices in the Midterm Elections.

Pro-democracy Governors, Secretaries of State, and Attorneys General are critical lines of defense.
