Secretary of State Steve Simon: Pledge to Protect Our Election in MN!

During his second term, Trump has taken unprecedented action to seize control over our elections. This has included illegal requests for sensitive voter information and threats (via Executive Order) to order the US Postal Service to refuse delivery of mail-in ballots.
But the president doesn’t have a say over our election processes. State election officials do.
Secretaries of state are the elected officials who stand between the will of the people being upheld and self-serving politicians overriding us to control the outcome. Everyone who is eligible must be allowed to vote, every legal vote must be counted, and every legally elected official must be seated.

Minnesota residents are demanding that the MN Secretary of State's Office publicly commit to doing everything in their power to uphold the will of the people. We are also willing to stand behind our state officials who stand up to illegal federal interference.
Why is this important?
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. State and 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 the Minnesota Secretary of State join other secretaries of states across the country and commit to overseeing a free and fair election. And they need to know MN residents 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. Join your Minnesota neighbors and add your name to the petition to urge our MN Secretary of State to protect essential voting processes from partisan interference and uphold the will of the people!
