“It appears the stated reason for this resolution, listening to my colleague who just spoke from South Carolina, is the rule of law, integrity, upholding our democracy, all things that I think people on both sides of the aisle support and can get behind. But, when you read the resolution, you would also think that we have a nationwide problem of undocumented immigrants voting and influencing our election. I would expect that, if that is the case, the sponsors of this legislation would introduce evidence that shows this widespread problem. I would hope that they are not relying upon the bogus, false claim that Donald Trump put forward that there are undocumented voters--3 million of them, he said--which has been panned and rebuked by every expert in the country. I would hope they are not relying on the voting rights commission that Donald Trump put in place after the election that could best be compared to an airplane that is still at the gate with a lot of maintenance problems and is probably never, ever going to get off the ground. There is zero evidence to support this resolution. But you know who did interfere in our last election; you know who did seek to influence the American voter? The Russians. You know who does not care about the rule of law? The Russians. Do you know who does not care about integrity at the ballot box? The Russians.…”
