It is critically important, I would suggest, that Congress and the president do so.

the entire voting rights movement of the 1960s... was premised on the idea that we would be able to cast votes but that our votes would also count.

A week ago, FBI Director Wray warned the Homeland Security Committee that Vladimir Putin and Russian agents are, again, interfering in the U.S. presidential election in order to skew and influence the outcome of the election.

Does the religious-free exercise clause exempt churches and synagogues and so on from public health orders that are handed down by states or counties?

the President and his advisers have embraced a policy of herd immunity, which the President sometimes calls herd mentality, which really means a policy of mass human sacrifice that has already cost us 200,000 lives

Listening to our colleagues wax eloquent about how great the economy was before millions of people were thrown out of work...

I'm also a little surprised that they've decided to go back to China as a way to distract people from the President's epic failures...

I appreciate it. Thank you for calling this astounding hearing.

three percent may not seem like a big deal although, of course, we know lots of elections are settled by three percent of the vote.

The Census is important for two main things: money and power.

It is infinitely harder in the middle of a pandemic, and the intricate plans and military like schedule that were a decade in the making have been completely upended by this out of control coronavirus crisis.

The Trump administration lost its battle to paste a citizenship question last minute onto the Census in the Supreme Court.

The threat of an inaccurate count is no more of a blue state problem than COVID-19 is a blue state problem.

It's amazing to me that the President, who knew that COVID-19 was, quote, 'deadly stuff' but deliberately suppressed the truth about it...

The House majority took the position that we needed $4 billion for the states. The GOP opposed that.

This article makes clear that our colleagues' oft-repeated claim that 28 million mail-in ballots went missing is misleading, a mischaracterization, and mostly false.

Let's not confuse the public. Let's try to help the states to deliver in these atrocious circumstances brought to us by the President of the United States and his supporters.

This move is a political ploy to make it seem as if Federal employees are earning more money than they're actually earning.

We ended up with only 10 percent of that figure, $400 million.

I'm pleased to hear that you are open to state and local funding in the next round of legislation that we do.

I hope you will pay attention to this bipartisan consensus that we need a substantial and meaningful investment in this coordinate part of the U.S. Government in the states and localities.

Partisanship is a reflection of a free society.

the whole history of disenfranchisement in our country, with poll taxes, literacy tests, grandfather clauses, White primaries, and so on, would vindicate the accuracy and the passion of that ad.

we should stop spreading anxiety and disinformation about the elections.

I've got diabetic constituents who are waiting for insulin. I've got constituents with cancer waiting for chemo drugs to come in.
