Madam Speaker, January 6 is one of the darkest days in American history. We now know in great detail how the former President and his cronies were attempting to use the electoral certification process to undermine our democracy to take away the people's vote. They tried to delegitimize a free and fair election with their lies, subvert the results certified and sent by the States, and pressure a Vice President into rejecting his constitutional responsibilities, all of which erupted in violence, hate, and bloodshed right here in our Capitol. We walked through the blood and broken glass right outside of this Chamber to cast our votes to uphold our democracy. Today, we must vote for the Electoral Count Act to ensure that the rule of law and the will of the people will always prevail in this Chamber and in this country.
