The emerging battleground for those who refuse to accept election results

Secretary of state races in seven states, including Missouri, Montana, North Carolina, Oregon, Vermont, Washington, and West Virginia, are becoming more competitive as prominent Trump supporters question the validity of the 2020 election and vow to reform the elections process. The role of the secretary of state has come under increased scrutiny due to false allegations of rigged elections and voter fraud. In the 2022 midterm elections, Trump-endorsed candidates for secretary of state in crucial battleground states all lost to their Democratic opponents. Supporters of the former president are hoping to reverse this trend in the upcoming races. However, polls indicate that voters are likely to cast their ballots along party lines, with only a small percentage crossing party lines in the last midterm elections. Efforts to boost voter turnout, particularly in Missouri, which has a highly contested primary, are underway. As secretary of state races have become the new battleground for election deniers, it is important for voters to stay informed and engaged in the political process.
