Political Quotes

“I say to my friend, the evidence speaks for itself. The Senator from Oregon courageously stepped forward yesterday and was the only Republican to vote in favor of Senator Wyden's amendment. Why did he do that? Because he knows the process in Oregon is good. I think we, as Senators, have to do everything we can to stimulate voter turnout, to make it easier. I am in favor of voting 2 days. In Nevada, I am in favor of--we are a 24-hour town--voting all night long. We have to do everything we can to allow more participation. I am so impressed with what North Dakota does. In North Dakota, if you want to vote, come on in, we will let you vote. They have same-day registration. Imagine that. I have talked to my friend from North Dakota, and I have never heard--and I do not think he has either--of any fraud. We live in a world of computers. People are going to cheat. It is easy to find out if they cheat. We should do everything we can to move forward with allowing people to vote. We should not make it harder for them to vote. We should make it easier for them to vote. I applaud my friend from Oregon for working on this legislation so hard and, I think, making the legislation so much better. Recognizing there is a problem with it, let us work it out in conference and not say we are going to close up shop and not allow us to move forward on this legislation.”
