But in any case, the remedy being urged on us by our friends on the other side of the aisle is the North Carolina model, which, in fact, did not help prevent the fraud.

By all appearances, H.R. 1 is simply a way for political operatives to enrich themselves.

Somebody who wrote the bill shouldn't be able to profit from it, because it is going to put billions upon billions upon billions of dollars.

Tell me that this is something that we should put through to the American people that is going to nationalize our election processes.

All of you who said we didn't have enough hearings on the tax bill or the healthcare bill, hey, you were right.

Approximately 24 million voter registrations, one in eight in the U.S., are either invalid or inaccurate.

Your bill would not allow this. Your bill would not allow this to happen.

This is a political message meant to help drum up support for what have you in the electoral process, and it is very frustrating to me.

There has got to be some bipartisanship in this. There is none right now.

I am for open processes, and you know what, it is an epiphany.

Supporting this bill means that every member of this institution who is voting supports putting taxpayer dollars, millions, $4.5 million more potentially in congressional races.
