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

I think it is going to be counterproductive to what we are doing because this is disenfranchising the voters, and it takes away the power of the ballot away from the voter and hands it to lawyers.

This is a huge, unfunded mandate that we are placing on 50 States, many of those which have struggled financially in recent years.

My amendment is the only way that I have a voice in this process on a 571-page bill that has been jammed down our throats.

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

We are assuming in California, because the election results have seated Members of Congress, that there wasn't fraud, but we cannot sit here and say that this process is not ripe for fraud.

This 6 to 1 match program is inviting outside interference in elections.

We want to make sure that everyone has access to voting.

I blame the fact that many here in your leadership team want to rush this bill to the Floor.

Unlimited taxpayer dollars going to political campaigns is certainly not what I think my colleagues on the other side of the aisle want out of this.

I request a roll call vote, please.

A private right of action is necessary for justice, and this has been discussed earlier today.

This 15-day early voting period will not suppress turnout.

How is allowing third-party vendors to handle voter information accomplishing that goal?

You know who is the biggest small dollar donor candidate in the history of politics? Our President, Donald J. Trump.

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…

This provision opens a huge door to voter fraud by allowing students to vote at their university without any change in their legal residency.

This amendment strikes Section 4208. This provision creates new political record requirements for online platforms.

It is very frustrating to me that this markup is being held after I and my colleague Mr. Loudermilk only had 15 minutes of time to ask questions.

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.

I support the passage of this amendment, and I reserve the balance of my time.

We have not heard from States regarding this provision, nor voting equipment manufacturers.

This amendment would require the identification of every small dollar donor under Section 5111 if the aggregate of qualifying small dollar donations from outside the district exceeds $250,000.

We have got to make sure we have processes in place that don't encourage that.

It is impossible to verify the eligibility of an individual in such a short period of time.
