Nothing about H.R. 1 has been open or transparent.

The greatest threat to our Nation's election system is partisanship.

H.R. 1 is a prime example of the Democratic Party telling States that the Federal Government knows better than they do.

H.R. 1 forces a nationwide approach that will be costly and ineffective.

Democrats boast that H.R. 1 is for the people. Yet they are failing the people by not doing their due diligence to ensure that H.R. 1 will protect each American's vote.

This legislation overreaches our Constitution.

H.R. 1 was drafted to serve the special interest of Democrats and the outside organizations that support the Democratic Party.

My colleagues across the aisle insist that H.R. 1 is their serious effort for election reform but they are imprudently rushing to get this 571-page bill to the Floor without ensuring the Committees of jurisdiction have time to properly…

That is why this amendment is so important. That is why this amendment is in order, and I certainly hope we can get many of our colleagues to support it today.

This provision in H.R. 1 would prohibit States from treating 16- and 17-year-olds as ineligible to vote for purposes of automatic registration.

This provision is at best inviting mass confusion and disorder at polling locations across the country and at worst inviting election fraud.
