Alex Padilla: “This work is now being chilled, and the researchers are being silenced.”

This lawsuit has no legal basis or evidence behind it and is nothing more than a blatant abuse of power designed to sow distrust in our elections and threaten Americans’ right to vote.

The truth is simple: our elections are safe and secure; the widespread voter fraud that Trump has claimed for 10 years does not exist.

My office is in touch with the FBI, U.S. Postal Service and Senate security officials following a suspicious package the U.S. Postal Service intercepted before reaching our office. Thankfully, no threat was posed to my staff or our office.

They’re desperate. They’re looking for this proof that Trump has been barking about for more than ten years about massive voter fraud, which simply does not exist.
