(Politico) The Democratic Association of Secretaries of State, the party’s main campaign arm for races for states’ chief election officers, is launching its largest-ever TV ad campaign, booking $11 million worth of TV ads across three critical battleground states. DASS’ Michigan TV ad attacks Republican Kristina Karamo, who has been endorsed by Trump after serving as a poll watcher in 2020 and spreading misinformation about the election. The spot quotes her talking extensively about abortion, calling it “child sacrifice” and “a very satanic practice.” Other major Democratic organizations are targeting these races as well, with End Citizens United partnering with DASS in Michigan and Nevada. A spokesperson for ECU said there are plans “to spend more in these and other states” before the election. The Democratic group iVote previously announced its own $4 million TV buy.
