Official Senate Democratic evidence shows Padilla's Election Protection Task Force continued meeting in summer 2026, including a strategy session after an earlier June meeting, so the promised activity was materially underway during his Senate term. However, the promise is ongoing through the 2026 midterms, and the latest evidence mainly reiterates continued intent and related election-protection work rather than documenting completion of the full continuing-meetings commitment.
