Does early voting increase turnout, or does it just spread it around?

I want to formally acknowledge the great work that the GPO does.

We do not need to require every jurisdiction to compile these reports just to get at the few that may be out of compliance.

the voters who have voted 45 days early have no chance to factor that in, in regard to the Election Day period.

I am opposed to long lines and people waiting an inordinate amount of time.

I only say that it always is of some concern to me that when we go down the road to reform and we wave the banner of reform, we want to see what is underneath it, and I think there is something called the First Amendment there and I want…

Their time and resources should be dedicated to serving our voting population, not to filling out reports for the Department of Justice.

I cannot support moving these nominations forward without any Republican nominees to join them.

We do have with us today two very well qualified nominees before us.

I hope we could get the IRS out of politics.

The Affordable Care Act may be one step too far. One asks too much for the IRS to handle.

Why do we not just disengage the tax system as much as possible for economic decision-making or political free speech?

I have little confidence that the agency you are being asked to lead will be able to take on the Affordable Care Act in an efficient and effective way.

I want to stress it certainly was a warning to me.

My bill would have sunset the exchanges and the individual mandate if beneficiaries were unable to enroll starting October 1st, as promised.

Well, you know, I'm pretty sure.

We have a law, the Federal Information Security Management Act, FISMA.

I appreciate that. Thank you very much.

I think that's really important, because a lot of them are just seeing 'Your policy has been canceled by Obamacare' and not being told 'Here is what your options are,' and we've got to really work on that.

Did an independent testing organization ever test the whole integrated system end to end?

My first question is why was the exchange allowed to go operational without the apparent clearance required by the Office of Management and Budget?

Will you submit confidentially to the committee the results of the independent testing?

I'm going to focus, if I can, on the concern raised by Senator Isakson and Senator Alexander.

Well, if you're pretty sure, I want to be sure.

The American people get this... 52 percent do not want any increase in the debt limit.
