Alex Padilla: “No voter should have to walk past a gauntlet of firearms to exercise their right to vote, and no election worker should…”

I just can’t help but remember, back in the 2020 presidential election, Donald Trump called the secretary of state of Georgia and said, ‘find me 11,000 more votes.’

Due to the size and timing of this voter registration process error, the eyes of voting rights advocates across America are on Texas and how the state will respond.

It’s a desperate attempt to hold on to power, because the writing is on the wall.

Local officials and potentially impacted voters have real reason to be concerned about the state’s ability to work quickly enough to ensure that all eligible voters who registered can cast their ballot without obstacle.
