U.S. State Secretaries of State

On our watch, we prosecuted parents, we prosecuted grandparents, we prosecuted ministers, and we prosecuted coaches. Mr. Speaker, the only evidence you have is what that child can testify to in front of a bunch of strangers in a jury box…

Mr. Speaker, how do you look a rape victim or a domestic violence victim in the eye and tell them that the good folks in your community, the advocates and the supporters of domestic violence services or rape crisis centers or child…

What you don't want out of the system is innocent people to be fingered as illegal voters.

I don't think most people, most Americans, think that if they give to an elections administrator for voter registration purposes, sensitive data like a full or partial Social Security number, that it's going to end up in some sort of giant…

And my call to election administrators, not just here in Arizona but across the nation, is to stay strong. Just do your job.

There would have to be a significant shift in the rhetoric and the attitude coming out of senior leadership in the administration before I open my door and say, ‘Yeah, you guys, come on in.’ It’d be foolish of me to let the fox into the…

The federal government is no longer a trusted partner in democracy.

It's really not a red state or blue state thing. It is a — in my view, a concerning attempt, a concerning effort to consolidate and overreach at the federal level. In the United States of America, it's the states who run elections, not the…

One thing that would help is if someone at the federal government would come out and categorically say, 'No, no, no, stop the presses, stop everything. You'll never have to worry about that. That's not something we would ever consider…

If he is elected, Raffensperger pledged to have an administration with a bold conservative agenda.

I'm a conservative Republican, and I'm prepared to make the tough decisions. I follow the law and the Constitution, and I'll always do the right thing for Georgia no matter what.

If he had any inclination to actually understand or care about the American people, he'd know that mail-in voting is really the best way to protect everybody's right to vote.

The time, place and manner of our elections are established by the states. Congress can jump in once in a while, but there’s a process to the rules. You can’t just come in as a wannabe strongman and take things over.

Donald Trump is trying to grab power ahead of the 2026 Election and says he will ban vote by mail. This is a direct attack on democracy.

Today marks a huge victory for the people of Wyoming and for the truth.

Proof of citizenship for registering to vote is a common sense, conservative election integrity measure.

This is a huge win for the people of Wyoming.

I’m extremely pleased with the court’s ruling granting our motion to dismiss this outrageously wrong lawsuit.

This Administration’s actions are not about public safety — they’re about stoking fear.

Joe is a fighter — and I know he will face this challenge with the same strength, resilience, and optimism that have always defined his life and leadership.
