An Election-Denying Elections Director?

In a battleground state, no less...   Hi {NAME}! There’s a story in AZ that perfectly sums up why having permanent, on-the-ground voter protection staff in battleground states is so important. In a party-line vote, Cochise County, Arizona – a county with 77,000 registered voters – hired an election denier as its Elections Director. This is the kind of development the voter protection staff we fund stay on top of, year-round. In most counties – even Republican-controlled ones – it’s possible to work with elections officials to help elections run smoothly. But sometimes, we also need staff on the ground to fight efforts to suppress and disenfranchise voters. That’s why we’re funding staff on the ground in Arizona to keep an eye on elections, including in Cochise County.

But a county of 77k registered voters could decide the 2024 election – for Arizona, and for the whole country. Did you know that Joe Biden won Arizona by just 10,457 votes? And that Governor Katie Hobbs won Arizona by 17,117 votes? And that Attorney General Kris Mayes won Arizona by just 280 votes – out of over 2 million cast? (That's not a typo.) Every vote, and every voice, matters. Power the Vote is dedicated to making sure every one of them is heard. And you can help make that happen.

In solidarity~ Kim [DONATE!]( [We Fund Voter Protection]( In 2020, we ran the Democratic Party’s Voter Protection Program in Georgia, when the state flipped blue for the first time in nearly 30 years. We pioneered a new model of voter protection, built on sustained investments and long-lasting relationships. Now, we’re building on that success and adapting the Georgia model to fight voter suppression in other battleground states. But we can only do it with your support.
