Protect Our Elections

Secretaries of states are under immense pressure from the Trump administration, and we need to make sure they know constituents are watching and expecting them to uphold integrity and fairness in our election processes.

The role of secretaries of states vary state to state, but often these officials are responsible for certifying election results, testing voting equipment, providing guidance and support to local election officials, maintaining voter rolls, and ensuring eligible voters are able to cast a ballot that is counted—all critical components of a fair election.

They are the elected officials who stand between the will of the people being upheld and self-serving politicians overriding us to control the outcome.

Together, we can fight to keep the power of our vote with the people and block Trump from seizing complete control over our elections. The stakes are truly that high. Find a petition targeting your secretary of state. Don't see one? Start one!

  • Uphold the Will of the People & Protect Our Election!
    Trump wants to rewrite the past and sow doubt about our elections to lay the groundwork to contest November’s midterm elections and seize control over future elections. There are checks and balances in our country for a reason. Local leaders run our elections—not the president. Only an authoritarian would attempt to seize control of our elections in order to control the outcome.  That’s why it’s so important that secretaries of states across the country double down and commit to overseeing a free and fair election. And they need to know we are watching and support them in upholding the law. They are, after all, elected to serve the people, not the president.  We need to defend our democracy. Add your name to the petition to urge state election officials to protect essential voting processes from partisan interference and uphold the will of the people!  Photograph: Cliff Owen/AP
