Barry Loudermilk actually said...

"I don't believe it is the fault of my colleagues on this Committee. I believe it is political messaging by the leadership of the majority that wants this bill to be pushed through."

"I think it is going to be counterproductive to what we are doing because this is disenfranchising the voters, and it takes away the power of the ballot away from the voter and hands it to lawyers."

"With provisions like this included in H.R. 1, it does not appear to be For the People Act, but rather a 'For the Lawyers Act.'"

"As I mentioned regarding the last amendment, which, by the way, barely failed; I think we only lost by two votes."
