The only thing that this bill does--and the discussion of it does--is stoking fear that our elections may not be secure, and it creates mistrust in the outcome of elections. So I feel compelled to take a moment to, once again, reassure all Americans that are listening today: There is no credible evidence of massive voter fraud or a massive number of noncitizens voting in our elections--no evidence, none.
