Alex Padilla: Election security is ongoing effort, not once a generation

Padilla has led some of the most robust efforts in the nation to secure voting systems and combat disinformation. "I would advocate fiercely for ongoing appropriations and financial support for election modernization and security," Padilla said. "The work is ongoing," Padilla said, arguing that the handful of recent grant disbursements aren't enough. "Election security and integrity is not something you can invest in only once in a generation."

Alex Padilla: States run elections, Feds can standardize administration

States run elections, Padilla said, but "there's a strong role for the federal government to play" in improving the process, and "it's not as if Congress appropriating dollars and leveraging policy in the process is unprecedented." Padilla said he'd embrace this approach, arguing, "A lot of the reforms we're talking about are no-brainers." "We're not talking about federalizing or centralizing elections nationally," he said. "We're talking about standardizing election administration."
