G. K. Butterfield: “This Congress wants to be an ally, not an obstacle, so thank you very much.”

The State supreme court ruled that the congressional map was an extreme, intentional partisan gerrymander and directed legislature to fix it.

I had spent thirty years in a courtroom before coming to Congress, and, you know, in a courtroom, the rules are so much different than the rules for ethics for Members of Congress.

We want to minimize opportunities for misinformation, and we want to minimize opportunities to overturn an election.

Where we diverge is how to preserve the program for those in actual need without regulatory loopholes and fuzzy interpretations of the law, both of which exploit the very intent of the program.
