As Congress picks up voting rights legislation again, California Sen. Alex Padilla says he’s “relishing the opportunity” to bring his experience as a recent Secretary of State to this issue. In the past year, 19 states enacted 34 voting restriction laws. Those “supposed election integrity measures are really a solution in search of a problem,” Sen. Padilla says, and “underscores our need to act federally,” and it wouldn’t be the first time Congress stepped in to protect the right to vote. Jan. 9, 2022
