Secretary of State Races: Election Denialism Could Cost GOP Again in Swing State Races By Louis Jacobson

KEY POINTS FROM THIS ARTICLE

— This year, 26 states will hold elections for secretary of state. Currently, the GOP holds 25 secretary of state offices to 22 for the Democrats. Three states do not have a secretary of state.

— Our analysis suggests that six secretary of state races this year are competitive, including two in the Toss-up category.

— During the last election cycle that had this many secretary of state races, 2022, election denialism was a major issue, and in several purple states it helped Democrats defeat Republican nominees aligned with Donald Trump’s allegations of election fraud. With this installment, we have shifted two secretary of state races from Toss-up to Likely Democratic because Republicans nominated candidates associated with election denialism.
