But in the wake of the Republican Party's Big Lie, and Donald Trump's ongoing fixation on installing allies in key positions, secretaries of state — and this year's campaigns to elect secretaries of state — have taken on extraordinary importance.

Franita Tolson, an election law expert at the University of Southern California, told NPR, "The reasons why Trump's attempt to overturn the 2020 election failed is because there were state officials who refused to substantiate his claims of fraud. These folks really are gatekeepers."

And with this in mind, there's an organized effort underway to ensure that these offices are filled with radical conspiracy theorists — just in time for the 2024 presidential election.

Trey Grayson, Kentucky's former Republican secretary of state, added, "There's a lot of crazy going around. You have people running for these offices where the most important duty is counting the votes and accepting the results even if you don't like the outcome, and these folks don't appear to be well-positioned to do that.
