Americans will confidently go to the polls in November.

And I first want to start by thanking all of the poll workers.

if somebody does cast a ballot illegally, it undermines the integrity of our vote.

But our Democrat colleagues do not want to join with us today and send that bipartisan message.

I hope all my colleagues remind voters that, since the beginning of March, when President Trump declared a national emergency due to the pandemic, 37 different states plus the District of Columbia have successfully held statewide primaries…

There is simply no pandemic-related reason to change the way we vote in 2020.

We must also make sure that every American who wants to safely vote in person will have that right.

We need to ensure that state laws, which have been debated and honed over years, are respected and allowed to be implemented fairly and efficiently.

So, maybe we can also encourage people to become poll workers.

House Democrats care more about winning the election than they do about election integrity.

In contrast to blue states like California, who play fast and loose with their elections, I'm proud of Tennessee and the steps our state has taken to protect the vote of every Tennesseean.

I urge my Democrat colleagues to stop playing political games, to stop sowing distrust in America's institutions, and to stop trying to use the Federal Government to hijack state and local elections.

Vote-by-mail opens up our elections to all kinds of vulnerabilities.

I know a few members on your side referenced a series of comments made by somebody who's peddling a book right now out of context, talking about the President, as we seem to hear in this politically charged environment, unfortunately…

Voter fraud is real, and it can sway elections.

rooting out voter fraud is important.

I do feel confident that the United States is dissatisfied with the current state of American politics. And I feel very confident that they're anxious to make a change.

By the way, you cannot have order without law. And when the White House chief of staff says no one 10 miles outside of Washington cares about the Hatch Act, well, that's just an attack on the law.
