Look, I get it. The Democrats running for Congress weaponized small dollar donors through platforms like Act Blue.

The issue here is trying to provide candidates with a way to run for office where they don't have to depend on lobbyists, on bundlers, on large contributions.

We should all share a common goal of ensuring our elections be open, free, fair, and functioning with the highest level of integrity.

Introducing one-sided election reform is not the way to create positive and effective change for our Nation's election system.

clearly answers the call for a new Voting Rights Act using the template from States like Michigan, Florida, and Missouri

We don't want H.R. 1 taking power away from the States given to them by the Constitution.

They felt it was outmoded.

You are basically saying, okay, any Presidential candidate does not have to make the choice anymore to choose to abide by limitations in spending.

Another reason I cannot support H.R. 1 in its current form is it is increasing the election system's vulnerability by failing to implement necessary checks and balances regarding who is eligible to register to vote.

Bipartisan election reforms can happen, but not with Republicans not even being consulted.

It is just a constitutional overreach that places limits on free speech protected by the First Amendment.

I cannot support H.R. 1 in its current form because of those.
