I know darn well that Mike Gianasi is going to run the fairest election possible. He wants every vote to be counted.

Let's stop playing games. If we were sitting down and talking about how to solve this problem in a bipartisan way--and, again, the Democratic Majority did not live up to the promise that they made to the American people, that they wanted…

These mandatory paper ballots--again, I alluded to--what technology may exist in the future to help us lessen the lines in polling places?

The security of our national elections is a national concern and a national emergency.

Voter-verified paper ballots are the solution that really address the risks and threats that our Nation faces.

Election security should not be a partisan issue, and I am, frankly, disappointed that our majority chose not to work with our Republican colleagues.

It is disappointing for the American people, who deserve a bill that allows them to trust in their election system and have their votes preserved and protected.

H.R. 1 fell flat in the media and with public opinion.

You know, the one thing that every American should know is, when they go in, they cast their ballot, that that ballot is counted as cast.

We ought to shoulder that responsibility if we are--we should not require a 25-percent match.

Though I agree that the Federal Government has a responsibility to States to assist with States' election administration, I want to make it clear that this is not the sole responsibility of the Federal Government.

Let's stop playing games.
