On the recordMarch 10, 2021
I have a brief point to make. I wonder how my colleagues on the other side of the aisle hold two thoughts in contradiction simultaneously in their minds. They say that photo IDs and excessive registration paperwork and whatnot disenfranchises disproportionately minorities and the poor when they go to exercise their right to vote. But today with H.R. 8 and the next bill that is coming up, they are doing exactly that. They are causing there to be increased fees, increased paperwork, and more photo IDs. How does that not disenfranchise not just all Americans but disproportionately minorities and the poor? Mr. Speaker, I leave that to my colleagues to answer today.
