the American Confidence in Elections Act actually seeks to discourage the practice of ballot harvesting.

Mr. Chairman, I move that the Committee report H.R. 4563 favorably to the House, as amended.

Mr. Chairman, I withdraw the point of order.

A point of order here, because this amendment is not germane to the American Confidence in Elections Act.

I would just note that this proposed amendment is another effort at provisions related to ballot harvesting.

One of the great opportunities in the American Confidence in Elections Act is that, when we know best practices...

This amendment is not germane. Provisions of the amendment fall within the jurisdiction of the Committee on Education and Workforce.

I think ensuring foreign powers do not have access to material that has not been shared with the American people is common sense.

This amendment is not germane to the underlying bill.

In recognition of the brave officers who fought to defend the Capitol and many of us on January 6th, I encourage all of my colleagues to support this amendment.

The rights protected by the First Amendment are at the core of who we are as Americans--freedom of religion, freedom of the press, our right to protest and to petition our Government.
