50 years ago, Congressman Ed Roybal and his allies founded NALEO because at the time, too many Latinos were shut out of participating in our democracy.
Let me lay out the facts: Donald Trump lost the 2020 election. Period. Despite his false claims, there is no evidence of any widespread voter fraud in that election and we heard nothing new today.
Trump continues to double down on his efforts to erode trust in our elections, undermine independent oversight, and further his Administration’s attempt to ‘take over’ elections.
Here we go again. President Trump is trying to dismantle yet another independent guardrail of our democracy designed to keep elections fair and secure.
