The Public Record
Without a doubt, we are at a great inflection point in our Nation's history.
Today we are taking up a bill, the ACE Act, that would suppress vote versus allowing people to vote more freely.
I support Ranking Member Morelle on setting up such a commission and naming it after Frederick Douglass.
I think that the reason why we had higher voter participation in Georgia was not because of the reforms of 202 but rather in spite of reforms of 202.
This amendment would ensure that no person other than a State or local election official is able to challenge an individual's eligibility to register to vote unless that challenge is supported by a personal knowledge.
We must end this madness. The fact that this particular bill would allow people to question eligibility and do so indiscriminately is a problem.
Mr. Chairman, this amendment strikes in its entirety subtitle D of the bill, through which Republicans would impose their wish list of restrictive voting policies upon the District of Columbia.
