Kim Reynolds: “Mr. Speaker, in closing, one of my Democratic colleagues as we voted on this in the Committee on House Administration…”

“Mr. Speaker, in closing, one of my Democratic colleagues as we voted on this in the Committee on House Administration summed it up so well, so I think the remarks of the gentleman from Ohio (Chairman Ney) that this is not a perfect bill, properly imply, and undoubtedly apply to every bill that has ever been considered in the Congress of the United States. Having said that, I think this is a good bill. It is worthy of support, and it will move us forward. With 170 cosponsors on this legislation, 108 Democrats, 61 Republicans and one Independent, I believe as we move forward in passing this rule we will have a substantial vote in the affirmative on this legislation, which will move America forward with safe and solid elections. The most fundamental privilege of American citizenship is the right to vote. Let us now embrace that spirit of bipartisanship that produced this legislation by supporting this bill and preserving the very integrity of democracy.”
