This is, again, an attempt to create political assassination, as I referred to in my opening statements.

the Democrats are really trying to do, and that is themselves to fraudulently influence the upcoming election.

this is unprecedented and, again, to me I believe is an example of political malpractice on the side of the Democrats.

If the Democrats have their way in this election, it will be filled with fraud. It will be filled with confusion.

There is no question in my mind that the vast majority of USPS workers are faithful workers.

There was an investigation by the Office of Special Counsel that concluded that the United States Postal Service improperly coordinated with the Postal Workers Union in support of Hillary Clinton.

I think Mr. Roy's point regarding the HEROES Act, that it was $3.4 trillion of swamp spending and did not even extend the PPP.

I thank the ranking member and my friend for yielding. I would counter by saying the greatest threat to democracy in the country is the current majority in the House of Representatives. What we are doing even right here today, what we are…

there have been several comments from--misleading comments, quite frankly--from our colleagues on the other side that implied that somehow the floods that we're seeing, the increased intensity of storms, or whatever, is somehow due to the…

This whole thing, to me, ought to be deeply troubling and, at worst, it should be seen as election interference.

we continue not doing our job of oversight and in this case specifically as it relates to the census.

It is illegal for a noncitizen to vote. It is illegal for them to be involved in our political process.

I thank the gentleman from North Carolina (Mr. Walker), my good friend, for yielding to me. There is no question that all of us who have served with John Lewis mourn the passing of this towering figure who devoted his life to fighting for…

We can no longer allow outdated, legacy technology to stymie the delivery of vital public services.

Ultimately our agencies were incapable of meeting the needs and the responsibilities they are required to do.

The lack thereof certainly exposes us to security risks, as well as the inability for flexibility and scaling up.

May I inquire how much time is remaining for each side? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Georgia has 9 minutes remaining. The gentlewoman from Washington, D.C. has 10 minutes remaining.

It certainly can happen. It just requires a constitutional amendment. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Harris), my good friend.

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to section 3 of House Resolution 965, the yeas and nays are ordered. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 232, nays 180, not voting 19, as…

The Constitution can change by amendment only. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Alabama (Mr. Brooks).

I will just remind my good friend, listen, we share the concern if people are upset, if it is not working. But the reality is, if it is not working, we have a system in this government, in our system, to deal with it. And in this case, it…

To somehow try to paint a picture that D.C. is a second-class city is absolute absurdity. Without question, this is the most influential city in this country--perhaps in the world. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from…

May I inquire as to how much time I have remaining. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Georgia has 4 minutes remaining.

I feel like the arguments on the other side of the aisle are so weak that they respond by yelling louder. We have just heard a great, passionate speech about something that is totally irrelevant. In fact, the point was highlighted that the…

I would just say again that our Constitution has representation here in our Capitol from the Federation of the States, and this district was set apart, not to be a State, nor to be influenced by one. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the…
