Agree. There is much work ahead to overcome #TheBigLie & ensure all citizens can rightly place faith in their vote & democracy. Investing in education for all on how democracy works & ramping up civics education in each state can help protect voters from lies like this in future.

Congratulations to the 10 candidates endorsed by the @MIAFLCIO who have now earned the nomination of the @MichiganDems to appear on the November ballot. Looking forward to another clean sweep this fall!
