On the recordNovember 17, 2020
Today, Jim Jordan, the ranking member of the Judiciary Committee, and myself are sending a letter to Chairman Nadler and Chairwoman Maloney, the chairs of our respective committees, requesting a hearing on the election process, the integrity of the election process. Just last night, we got a report that over 2,000 ballots had just been found in Georgia. Ironically, despite the fact that all these absentee ballots have been breaking overwhelmingly for the Democrats and for Joe Biden in the Presidential race, this particular batch of ballots broke 800 votes in favor of Donald Trump. Now, I have been hesitant to criticize the election process without facts. We have facts here. It is a fact that there has been a history of problems with Dominion and different election software programs that have been used in several of the States that are in question in this Presidential election. We have had all of these hearings in the Judiciary Committee and all of these hearings in the Oversight and Reform Committee on Russia collusion that never proved anything, but we have a Presidential election that every American is watching. Why can't we have hearings on that? Mr. Speaker, we are here for the next 2 weeks. I strongly encourage the Judiciary and Oversight and Reform Committees to hold a hearing on our election integrity. ____________________
