On the recordJuly 25, 2001
Twenty-seven thousand of my constituents were disenfranchised in the last election. The whole nature of the last presidential election, from the roadblocks set up in black areas, to innocent people labeled as felons and kicked off the voting rolls, to thousands and thousands of votes being thrown out, is not acceptable. Our current President was selected by the Supreme Court and not by the American people. This last election has destroyed people's faith in our very system of government. It is shameful for us to discuss another country's election when we have our own American coup d'etat here in the United States. I strongly urge my colleagues to vote ``yes'' on this amendment, so that we can begin the process of finally getting over this shameful election.
