This is simply a money grab for politicians.

That is why we need to have more hearings. That is why we need to have a better process.

That is why this is one of the most egregious provisions that we have in this bill.

Let's be clear: Once again, we want everyone to have access to registering to vote.

The Brennan Center, one of the prime election centers of analysis, has found that cross-check is wrong 99 percent of the time.

This is not a serious attempt at getting money out of politics.

I am all for States providing online voter registration, but I am against federalizing online voter registration.

This amendment strikes Section 1504. This section requires standards for paper ballots.

This bill preempts State laws as well as the historical and constitutional role of States and localities in choosing the method of voting for their citizens.

Heck, you outraised us $374.9 million to $114.9 million.

the more we found out that more people in this Nation today distrust politicians and government officials in Washington, D.C., than ever before in the history in this country.

I just believe the States can do a better job of tailoring voter access to their people than big government bureaucracy can.

It is wrong. This bill is wrong. This process is wrong.

I would urge that we oppose the gentleman's amendment.

This legislation overreaches our Constitution.

this government subsidy for politicians is the most unbelievable thing that I think I have encountered since I have been here in Congress.

I think that this has good intentions. I think it is a lot of unintended consequences.

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.

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

This shows once again that this bill is being rushed through this markup process.

you can choose to look the other way, but you can never again say that you did not know.

The Secure Elections Act was a bipartisan bill and is the model we should be adopting in the House.

Early voting works for diverse populations. That is why I believe it is under attack in some States.

Furthermore, there is no way to authenticate if data being transferred or transmitted is accurate.

This is fiscally irresponsible.
