H.R. 1 forces a nationwide approach that will be costly and ineffective.

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.

Same-day voter registration can put an undue burden on poll workers who are typically already working extremely long hours.

That is not what the American people want, and we still--I mean, this is the reason why we have got to slow down.

Never mind the astronomical cost associated with this.

I support measures to increase those numbers, but using taxpayers dollars to take Federal workers away from their duties is not the way to do it.

Tell me that this is something that we should put through to the American people that is going to nationalize our election processes.

Imagine, imagine, the cost of putting an online voter registration system together at the national level.

But in any case, the remedy being urged on us by our friends on the other side of the aisle is the North Carolina model, which, in fact, did not help prevent the fraud.

Why in the world, then, would anybody who helped to write this bill say that that is the model that we should use to infuse billions of dollars into the coffers of campaigns of all of us sitting around this table?

Allowing Federal workers to take paid leave away from their jobs will impact that level of service the agencies they work for can deliver.

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