💪🗳️ Sec. @adrianfontes.bsky.social is laser-focused on protecting voters' data and standing against debunked election conspiracy theories that only aim to sow chaos:
"Our focus should be on strengthening the systems that voters rely on today and protecting sensitive voter data."
PRESS RELEASE: Fontes Responds to Efforts to Relitigate the 2020 Election and Remains Focused on Protecting Voter Data
Here’s the facts, Arizona. My office will continue working to protect your private voter information and remain focused on delivering a secure and accessible 2026 election.
🚨 60 years after upholding the #VotingRightsAct, today’s Supreme Court has gutted key voter protections.
Once a powerful tool against racial discrimination, it’s now weakened, leaving millions of Americans of color at greater risk of disenfranchisement.
Sec. @shennabellows.bsky.social is right - the Constitution clearly places states - not the federal government - in charge of running our elections.
Federal overreach undermines democracy and spreads fear. It’s time to restore checks and balances.
No matter how Trump tries to interfere, Democratic Secretaries of State will fight back - defending voters, democracy, and free, fair, safe, secure elections.
While everyday working Americans struggle to put food on the table, Trump is refusing to lift a finger unless his voter suppression bill passes.
Democratic Secretaries of State will keep fighting the SAVE Act - and fighting for the American people.
DEMOCRACY WIN: Thanks to @adrianfontes.bsky.social’ leadership, Arizona secured $2.49M in previously appropriated funds to keep critical election infrastructure and voter services in place ahead of 2026.
It’s progress, but the fight for proper funding isn’t over.
Democratic Secretaries of State are preparing for potential federal interference from Trump in upcoming elections - and already pushing back against overreach, like Steve Simon protecting voters’ privacy.
The Constitution makes it clear: elections are run by the states.
"If they truly cared about our elections, they'd be investing and finding out and working with local elections officials about how we can actually increase the efficiency of our elections and what is needed to increase the security." - Sec. Cisco Aguilar, DASS Chair
🚨🚨 From one election denier to another: Trump just fired DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and nominated Sen. Markwayne Mullin - who voted against certifying the 2020 election and backed efforts to overturn it - to lead the very agency that helps safeguard U.S. election infrastructure.
Our elections are free, fair, safe and secure - and like Sec. @adrianfontes.bsky.social says, they're run by our neighbors, friends, and family.
The SAVE/MEGA Acts undermine that by creating new obstacles for eligible voters and straining the election officials who keep our system running.
🚨🚨🚨 BREAKING: Trump is now calling on the GOP to pass the anti-voter SAVE Act “at the expense of everything else.”
While Americans struggle to afford food, rent, and gas, Trump is desperate to pass a bill that would block MILLIONS of eligible voters.
"The greatest danger to our elections does not lie in our existing systems and processes, which are secure; the greatest danger to our elections is in under-resourcing." - Democratic Secretaries of State in a letter to GOP congressional leaders denouncing the SAVE/MEGA Acts
Connecticut is strengthening its elections. 💪
SB 298 became law today, streamlining early voting, improving recount procedures, protecting voter privacy, and expanding authority for Sec. Stephanie Thomas to resolve disputes before they disrupt an election.
The SAVE and MEGA Acts aren’t about security - they’re about making it harder for eligible Americans to vote. They require documents millions don’t have, create barriers for vulnerable communities, and strain election offices.
Democracy works best when everyone can vote.
🚨🪖 NEW: Trump’s DOJ is putting military and overseas voters in its crosshairs by pushing stricter rules that could block eligible voters.
Sec. Shirley Weber, PhD, is committed to protecting overseas voters and ensuring service members can cast their ballots.
Wishing everyone a joyful #Holi! May this festival of colors celebrate the triumph of good over evil, the arrival of spring, and bring peace, unity, and happiness to all.
Sec. @sosmaggie.bsky.social co-hosted a roundtable to discuss the unprecedented threats the Trump administration poses to Americans’ right to vote and to New Mexico’s elections - including the Trump DOJ’s demand for unredacted voter rolls containing Americans’ sensitive, private information.
The SAVE/MEGA Acts are voter suppression measures that create needless, complicated, and expensive hurdles for millions of eligible Americans trying to register and cast their ballots.
Trump and the GOP are more concerned with passing voter suppression bills like the SAVE and MEGA Acts than making life affordable for everyday Americans.
‼️ City of Tempe & Pima County voters: today is the last day to return your ballot by mail to ensure it is counted. Ballots have pre-paid postage and can be returned at any mailbox or placed in any official dropbox.
For the people, always.
📚 PROTECTING OUR LIBRARIES: @ilsecofstate.bsky.social and State Librarian Alexi Giannoulias awarded over $680,000 in grants to public libraries statewide to strengthen technology, expand educational resources, and enhance safety for students, librarians, and communities.
🚨 “This is what happens when you have a bunch of people write policies that never themselves understood the process, or took the time to learn the challenges that are faced by election administrators." - NV Sec. and DASS Chair Cisco Aguilar on the SAVE/MEGA Acts
🛡️ Sec. @adrianfontes.bsky.social is defending voters’ privacy from federal overreach. In a new court filing, Sec. Fontes asked a federal judge to dismiss the Trump DOJ’s demand for sensitive voter data, calling the request illegal under state privacy law. ⤵️

🗳️ Transparency is key in the electoral process - that's why Nevada Secretary of State and DASS Chair Cisco Aguilar hosted a mock election demonstration ahead of the 2026 midterms.
"Nevada runs some of the safest, most secure, and accessible elections in the country." ⤵️
Oregon is the gold standard when it comes to running fair, accurate and inclusive vote-by-mail elections. We'll continue to work with local election offices to make Oregon continues to lead in high turnout, low costs and high security elections. #orpol
