Today, Citizens for a Strong Democracy, Issue One’s National Council on Election Integrity, and the National Task Force on Election Crises held a joint press briefing about why a seamless transition is essential for national security.
Read Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin’s piece on the topic, which quotes National Council on Election Integrity member Michael Chertoff’s comments today’s call, as well as those of briefing panelist Janet Napolitano.
“As Michael Chertoff, the former secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, put it in a press call on Monday, “The time for playing around and posturing is over.”
Chertoff’s successor in the Obama administration, Janet Napolitano, echoed his warning. Trump’s antics are “causing unnecessary disruption and risk,” she cautioned. “The election is over.” It is long past time Trump, Murphy and the Republican Party as a whole start acting like it.”
