I support H.R. 1 for taking needed steps to get dark money and foreign money out of our politics; restore voting rights that are under assault in States around the country; improve our election security, as you heard the last gentleman say, Bennie Thompson; and restore integrity to our democratic process. In too many States, the clock is turning back on voting rights and election integrity. Voter suppression has become a scourge in our democracy. For anybody to deny it on this floor, they haven't been in the country. Mr. Chair, these reforms are long overdue. I urge my colleagues to vote ``yes.'' The Acting CHAIR. Members are reminded to refrain from engaging in personalities toward the President.
