There is only one other post other than this one to cover before the midterms and it will get up there sometime soon. I just need to write it and the other ones that I’m behind on. I am now going to do my first of any posts on secretary of state elections.
State
with elections: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut,
Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Massachusetts, Michigan,
Minnesota, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Ohio, Rhode Island, South
Carolina, South Dakota, Vermont, Washington (special), Wisconsin, and Wyoming.
They
are more important than perhaps they should be because of the America First
Secretary of State Coalition. These are people who think that Trump only lost
in 2020 because of fraud that somehow failed to affect any of the other
elections somehow. There are other reasons too. But I don’t want any of them to
win.
Let’s
get to the bad news first. There were some successes in primaries. In the
Pennysylvania governor race and secretary of state races in Michigan, New
Mexico, Arizona, Indiana, and Nevada, these Trump backed candidates all won the
primary. Will they win the general election in the end? I guess that we’ll see
and hope not.
But
there is good news. They have so far had more failures in primaries and
run-offs. The Trump backed candidates in Kansas, Colorado, Alabama, South
Carolina, California, Georgia, Idaho, and Nebraska all lost the primaries or
run-offs. For those keeping track, more of the Trump backed candidates in his
colliation lost than won. And that’s not factoring in to what might happen in
the general elections where more might lose.
I
won’t talk that much about the other elections in the country relating to
secretary of state. But there is one incumbent that I know is terrible and
that’s the one in Ohio. He has taken part in voter purges, something that
should be illegal. It is weird that it happened in Georgia in 2018 and it
wasn’t considered as big a deal as it was then as it is now.
As
an autstic person, it can be hard to get behind candidates who openly disagree
with and mock the progress they try to make. Republicans do terrible with
people with special needs while lying about protecting those with pre-existing
conditions. I guess that they hope that they don’t vote at all like the one in
Minnesota openly admits.
And
there you have it. I have only one more post that has to be done before the
general election happens as I cover some of the House races. I’ll have a
different type of follow up post for after the election that I’ll get to later
and explain in that post. I’ll see you then.
