Any fraud is too much, but proposed voter ID solutions are worse than the cure.

20 percent of the people living in Wisconsin do not possess the kind of identification required by the new Wisconsin law.

It is important for a judge to be patient and to be a good listener and to be humble and to be courteous to all those before him or her.

Thank you again for joining us.

Thank you for joining us again today, and thank you for your fine work for the people of the District of Columbia.

Thank you, Senator Lee.
