Alex Padilla: “No American should have to pass a line of federal troops, ICE agents, or armed officers to exercise that right.”

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

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.

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.

Their only hope for trying to maintain any sense of power is to interfere. It’s to change the rules. It’s to rig the elections.
