On the recordNovember 6, 1997
it has become clear to all that the case that the Republicans have been pursuing against the gentlewoman from California [Ms. Sanchez] has failed. It has failed for the simple reason that they have been unable to provide us sufficient evidence to suggest that somehow she was improperly elected to her seat in the Congress. And yet in spite of that overwhelming evidence of a lack of evidence to voter fraud affecting her seat, they continue this investigation. They have sent out subpoenas to people, improperly so; they have questioned the citizenship of individuals who have properly voted; they have questioned all sorts of voters, but what they have not been able to do is they have not been able to prove that she has been improperly elected. The time has come for the Republicans to drop this case and to dismiss the charges against the gentlewoman from California [Ms. Sanchez] and let her conduct herself on behalf of the citizens she was elected to represent in Orange County, CA. The time has come to stop this witch hunt against Hispanic voters and to let Loretta Sanchez sit as an equal with the rest of us.
