"It is incumbent upon every Member of this House to condemn racist rhetoric and attempts to disenfranchise voters of color by election officials."

"I do not believe this belongs as part of our American Confidence in Elections Act and would oppose the amendment."

"I urge my colleagues to vote in favor of this amendment, which is a sense of Congress to acknowledge the abhorrent language used by an elected official in Wisconsin."

"I oppose this amendment, as I do not believe it is the appropriate role for the Federal Government to take in elections administration."
