I like when our Chairperson uses the word 'righteous.'

As a matter of fact, who is going to make sure that colleges don't raise tuition just to cover the cost of another unfunded mandate?

We should absolutely--absolutely--be in favor of increasing access to polls, but without adding the necessary checks and balances to ensure these practices are protected, we are opening the door for fraud in our election system.

If we pass these new voter registration practices in H.R. 1 without creating safeguards around the practices to ensure we eliminate the possibility of fraudulent voting, we risk taking away the choice of the American people who voted…

I disagree with the assessment that Article I gives us, in Congress, the ability to tell election officials nationwide how to run their elections.

Madam Chairperson, I request a roll call vote. I get the confusion. We are on the opposite sides.

Automatically registering individuals to vote has inherent risks and opens the door to fraud.

Definitely yes.

This provision proposes to force every State to adopt automatic voter registration and, in addition, force most State agencies to transfer customer records to their State election agency for the purposes of registration.

These automatic voter registration requirements propose to fix a nonexistent problem.

The amount of data that would have to be transmitted if H.R. 1 were to be enacted would be enormous and would only exacerbate problems that we have seen at DMVs.
