The lack of same-day registration has a different impact on African American and Hispanic voters than it does on white voters.

I would urge a 'no' vote on this amendment.

The Federal Government does not have a good track record of being able to implement systems from a top-down approach.

We are not considering and we are not asking the States their input on this.

I appreciate the comments, Chairperson Lofgren, and my good friend, Mr. Raskin.

What H.R. 1 will do would codify that we will have more registered voters in so many more census tracks.

That is why this amendment is so important. That is why this amendment is in order, and I certainly hope we can get many of our colleagues to support it today.

This amendment strikes Section 1014. This provision requires a one-time transfer of data from contributing agencies to State election agencies for the purposes of registration.

I intend to vote for this amendment but this is what happens when a bill is rushed through to the floor.

This provision takes the transgressions outlined in Section 1013 and makes it retroactive, violating the privacy of those who have interacted with these agencies prior to the would-be enactment of H.R. 1.

Nobody--and I mean no one--who is eligible to be registered should be dissuaded from doing so.

Our system of government today when it comes to election registration is at its highest level of access.
