California Secretary of State Alex Padilla Joins Secretaries of State, Voting Rights Advocates to Discuss Attacks and Advances in Voter Registration

WASHINGTON, D.C. – California Secretary of State Alex Padilla will join the Center for American Progress on Wednesday, July 19 for an important discussion with secretaries of state and voting rights advocates on attacks and advances in voter registration and the integrity of our elections system. 

Voting rights and the integrity of our elections system are at a crossroads: America’s electoral system is being undermined by foreign interference and threatened by President Donald Trump’s sham voter fraud commission, led by Vice President Mike Pence and Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach. The commission, which will meet for its first in-person meeting on July 19, includes a who’s who of voter suppressors that seek to block eligible Americans from registering to vote and improperly remove them from the voter rolls, preventing them from voting.
