The voters of Alabama and every other State should have access to every possible venue and avenue for casting a ballot.

We must celebrate increases in voter participation, not respond with restrictions on voter access.

The continued failure to acknowledge or accept that fact by the majority actually undermines voter confidence.

As we approach the 10th anniversary of the Supreme Court's Shelby decision undermining the Voting Rights Act, we must recommit ourselves to the ideal that every American should have a voice in our democracy.

Voters can still turn out to vote, even if it has been made more difficult for people to vote.

For far too long that has not been the reality of our electoral process.

The 2020 election was the most secure election in U.S. history.

Enslaved persons, indentured servants, Native Americans, and women were all denied the right to vote.

I mean, we heard it right here when we talk about the Georgia election. You know, if lack of ballots, if missing power cords that led to 3-plus hours of wait time, purging over 53,000 voters, lack of training for the staff to help them…

Many of the voting laws passed in the wake of the 2020 election go to the very heart of the integrity of our elections, directly targeted methods voters of color used in 2020.

I ask unanimous consent to enter into the record two reports, each prepared by former chairs of the Subcommittee, Marcia Fudge, G.K. Butterfield, documenting the State of voting in America and the disparate impact election administration…

Ensuring every eligible American can cast a ballot is a goal we should all strive for.

It used to that be, under section 5 of the Voting Rights Act... had to seek permission from the courts before they could implement new voting laws.

I think it is about voter access. Am I right?

Instead of a lack of confidence in our elections, the American people are worried about backsliding toward autocracy.

Since the 116th Congress, I have been one of the leading champions of the Medicare Multi-Cancer Early Detection Screening Act, along with Representative Jodey Arrington.

I want Medicare to cover it, especially since we know that for cancer, age is a determinant in the diagnosis of cancer.

Our democracy does not function without them.

Ensuring that they have the resources and support they need remain my top priority.

There is no evidence of widespread voter fraud in the United States elections.

We should be making it easier to vote.

I think that we have to figure out a way to get some Federal oversight back in.

This Committee's role in conducting oversight of Federal elections is critical.

Ensuring eligible voters have access to the franchise promotes voter confidence.

We must also ensure that America maintains our space superiority.
