This is the escalation of the months of hateful rhetoric, and combined with the efforts to misinform the public about the reality of our election, because it was incredibly safe and secure.

The bottom line is nothing's going to change the results of this election of the voters have spoken.

No amount of you no politically charged legislative hearings, or bogus legal filings, or any other type of elements of this really irresponsible PR campaign is going to change that truth.

What I soon realized throughout the evening, is that they're actually aiming their attack at our voters, at our democracy.

The law is also very clear about what should happen in the circumstances and there's lots of checks and balances in place to protect and preserve the will of the people. And to protect and preserve the democratic process -- the small d…

Democracy is a team sport, and every single one of us here can agree that we want this fall election to be successful.

voters should not be disenfranchised for doing everything they are supposed to do if another system, particularly the Postal Service, fails to deliver their ballot on time.
