When we have masked men in unmarked cars grabbing people that may or may not be citizens, not following due process, we are in danger as a democracy.

During my time as Secretary of State, I set the legal direction of my department through some serious election and democracy issues.

We will continue to ensure voters have their voices heard and stand up against any federal interference.
Trump and his DOJ have no right to Coloradans’ sensitive voter information, and we hope the District Court’s decision is upheld.
The DOJ has lost every lawsuit and appeal they have filed in their attempts to access sensitive voter information from the states.
This is another thinly-veiled attempt by the Department of Justice to intimidate election officials and coerce compliance with their efforts to unlawfully inject the federal government into States’ constitutional duty to oversee elections.
Today is Election Day, and every eligible Coloradan should know about the resources available to them so they can make their voices heard.
The spouses and children of military and overseas voters who are U.S. citizens have the same rights and privileges as every other American.
Trump will not be able to use the Postal Service to control which voters receive a mail ballot, and cannot use the DOJ to intimidate election officials into following his unlawful order.
Make our elections less secure and decrease the level of confidence and trust from Democratic secretaries of state with federal counterparts who used to be trusted partners
The first step to repair any relationship with the federal government is clear and transparent communication
Donald Trump is trying to grab power ahead of the 2026 Election and says he will ban vote by mail. This is a direct attack on democracy.
This would potentially disenfranchise millions of people all across the nation and disproportionately affect women, people of color and blue collar Americans.
A president can’t just grab power from Congress and dictate the national law of the land. That’s not how this country works.
Donald Trump incited the insurrection. He incited that violent mob onto the Capitol to try to stop the peaceful transfer of presidential power. And he has not stopped his attacks on democracy since then.
First and foremost, I'm glad that they issued a decision. Colorado voters and American voters all across the country deserve to know whether Donald Trump is qualified or not as we go into Super Tuesday.
There’s no get-out-of-jail-free card for insurrection for Donald Trump.
Donald Trump incited the insurrection. That was just part of his strategy to steal the 2020 election from the American people.
I think he should be held accountable. And whether it's in the other cases you have talked about tonight, or this case, he is a clear threat to this country.
