The national focus is usually on federal races, occasional governors and to a lesser extent state legislatures. A national effort at "down-ballot" state races is rare.
The Secretary of State Project looks to change that:
We've had enough of the Katherine Harrises and Ken Blackwells of the world, wingers who would destroy democracy to guarantee themselves power. Years ago, the federal courts ordered the Republican party to cease its voter suppression efforts. So the Right Wing turned to elected officials, acting in their official capacity to suppress the vote of citizens they feared would vote against them.
The SoS campaign will allow us to contribute to candidates who will fight these undemocratic forces.
Mike Mauro is one of their six featured candidates.
Huuuuge hat tip to MyDD.
