In this opinion piece, Protect Democracy’s Cyrena Kokolis and Beau Tremitiere argue that “Today, a majority of the U.S. electorate spanning the left, center and right supports the rule of law and embraces democracy, but could split their votes across several candidates and facilitate the election of a man openly promising authoritarian rule if he returns to the White House. Concerted action to unite this coalition at the ballot box — a fusion of voters with diverse views, interests and priorities but shared democratic values — would reduce the odds of both triggering a contingent election and electing an autocrat.”
