Alex Padilla: “Helping families have a safe, stable place to call home should not be controversial.”

This incident is a stark reminder of the very real danger facing those who serve the public and who help administer our elections in the face of increasingly hostile political rhetoric.

I know how California elections work very, very well. They’re safe, they’re secure. They’re fair, they’re free, and they’re going to stay that way.

We will fight this illegal overreach every step of the way.

Any DOJ action that could spoil an election would be one of the most serious constitutional violations imaginable.
