Republicans failed to steal the last election, but 2020 was only a dry run

Friend, Democrats have the best shot in ages at gaining control of the state legislatures in Michigan and Pennsylvania, and with that, a chance to determine what our democracy will look like. Now I know, you’ve heard these big, bold claims before – “democracy is riding on this” – but sadly, we mean it. Michiganders and Pennsylvanians have the opportunity to pass critical legislation that would codify common sense voters’ rights protections, including expanding access to the ballot, and would prevent their state legislature from overturning election results. That means the next president of the United States could be decided by the outcome of just these two state races. That’s why Daily Kos is endorsing a slate of fantastic Democratic candidates running for the Michigan and Pennsylvania state houses – and why we need your help to not only protect voting rights and abortion access in these states, but help protect our future presidential elections.

They’ve been refining their approach and they will steal the next one if we don’t stop them. Winning the state legislatures in Michigan and Pennsylvania would provide our democracy with protection against that terrifying prospect. AND, these are the ideal races for grassroots donors to get involved in. Most have budgets of just a few hundred thousand dollars compared to, say, the tens or even hundreds of millions it costs to run a national campaign. You’ll get a tremendous bang for your buck if you contribute to these candidates and, acting together, we can help make an enormous difference in fighting back against Republican attempts to steal elections.
