Jamie Raskin
The Public Record
Jamie Raskin is an American attorney, law professor, and politician serving as the U.S. Representative for Maryland's 8th congressional district since 2017. A member of the Democratic Party, Raskin has been an advocate for various progressive policies, including healthcare reform and civil rights. He gained national attention for his role in the impeachment proceedings against former President Donald Trump, where he served as a lead impeachment manager during the Senate trial in early 2020.
The election in Maricopa County was the most secure, verified election in our history.
You cannot bemoan the people's loss of faith in elections while you are spreading information and propaganda that are eroding the people's faith in elections.
I hope that those colleagues who are saying that legislatures have a right to obtain the information they seek...
Rather than admit that they were wrong about voter fraud, Cyber Ninjas and Republicans leaders in Arizona are now pushing a host of unnecessary legislative changes.
Last month, Cyber Ninjas finally was forced to admit that it had found no evidence of widespread fraud in the Maricopa County election results.
Cyber Ninjas' sloppy, insecure practices jeopardized the integrity of ballots and voting machines.
The hyperpartisan audits pushed by President Trump and his allies are not about fairness, election security, or the truth.
I would love to challenge the Electoral College vote because our election was badly tainted by everything from cyber sabotage by Vladimir Putin to deliberate voter suppression by Republicans in numerous swing states.
The ultimate aim of these audits is even worse--to lay the groundwork for new laws that make it harder for Americans to cast their ballots.
I never really understood Members from Arizona challenging the result by which they themselves were elected.
And even the claim that some of our colleagues have decided to float again today, which has been rejected all the way up to the Supreme Court, was one that was thoroughly vetted.
But there were election officials across the country who definitively refuted and repudiated Donald Trump's claims of corruption and fraud.
We know that Mr. Trump never accepted the results of the 2020 Presidential election, despite the fact that Joe Biden beat him by more than 7 million votes.
Madam Chair, thank you very much for calling this important hearing and thank you for making our committee a leader in defending democracy and the voting rights of the people against this escalating onslaught by Donald Trump and his…
This was a coup, not against the president, but by the president against Mike Pence, because, for that one day, he decided not to follow Donald Trump, but to follow the Constitution of the United States.
We have got a strong bipartisan committee that is determined to get to the truth about the worst violent assault on the U.S. Capitol since the War of 1812, an attempt to overthrow the counting of Electoral College votes to basically oust…
And now, like a sycophantic flunky, he clearly returns right to the cultish fold of Donald Trump. I mean, it`s just amazing to me to see that.
Here, Mike Pence was facing a mob that was chanting 'Hang Mike Pence.' They`d set up, like, gallows outside of the Capitol. And this was a coup, not against the president, but by the president against Mike Pence, because, for that one day…
There’s a very troubling situation because the vast majority of the American people rejects Trump, Trumpism, violent insurrection, and all of their big lies on everything from climate change to COVID-19, to the election to January 6.
We’re going to lay out a very strong case for democracy and what we need to do to repair our democracy so we’re not vulnerable to fascist violence in the future.
I will resist the opportunity to say that the entire last Presidency was a disaster.
