I would just note that the ballot harvesting issue, I think, has very little to do with the amendment offered by Mr. Hastings and that the remedy that has been suggested by my friend, Mr. Davis, was to use the system that was in place in North Carolina. Obviously, that didn't work. The remedy to fraud is prosecution, which is what is happening in North Carolina. I would note that, as we mentioned at the Rules Committee last night, in California, you can give your ballot that is sealed not only to your son, but to your next-door neighbor. You might be an elderly person who doesn't have family around. There has been no credible allegation of fraud, and we had monitors from both the Republican and Democratic parties, people from House Administration. There was no credible allegation of a problem. Mr. Chair, let's not compare apples and oranges. Let's support Mr. Hastings' amendment.
